    Nigel & Nina

    After just 2 years of Ceroc I went to one of Nigel & Nina's workshops- organised by Billy Cullen in Glasgow. It was so inspiring... it sparked my enthusiasm for dancing, organising BoogieNights events, trying out other styles, and now teaching. Haven't looked back since.

    Nigel & Nina began dancing together in August 1996, starting with MJ and they soon mastered other styles. Their repertoire now includes Lindy Hop, Blues, Charleston, West Coast Swing, Boogie Woogie and Balboa. IMO one of the original and best couples for teaching & performing.

    Have you noticed that Nigel tends to incorporate nearly all his styles when dancing too such a fun and satifying dance, I can't think of one 'follower' who has not enjoyed dancing with him

    Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
    That date is recognized as her official birthday.

    Yes! He's very versatile. Nina is very graceful, love her style too.

    Nina is all those things and more

    Plus, she has a very professional attitude to teaching dance. She doesn't just work it out just before the lesson. She makes Nigel practice, practice, practice with her until they get the polish that looks so effortless.

    And she is very scary too - even more scary than most women

    And Nigel is a pussycat!

    Dancing with Nigel is like pure poetry in motion, he has the ability to make me feel as though I can REALLY dance, he manages to push me to the limit and knows exactly what my limitations are!

    His musicality is second to none AND he lets me PLAY......lot's!

    Nigel and Niina together have provided me with some of my most enjoyable lessons.

    Masterfully constructed, delivered with wit and humour and technically brilliant.

    Their practice allows them to shine during the lesson.

    And she can teach a class how to spin even when not feeling well (At Scarborough)
