On June 12, the 92nd Street Y will celebrate the teaching and dancing career of Paul Grecki with a special tribute dance held in his honor. The evening features the 16-piece Harlem Renaissance Orchestra and special dance performances. Since 1982, Paul has taught New Yorkers how to swing at Sandra Cameron Dance Center. He studied with two legends of Harlem’s Savoy Ballroom — Al Minns and Frankie Manning — and helped pave the way in early 1980s for the current swing revival by teaching, performing and hosting dances dedicated to lindy hop.

We perform and teach popular and historical social dances of the Jazz Age and Swing Era and have appeared on stage, independent film, and local and national television. Known for our performance and our research of social dancing, we also consult and choreograph for period productions, particularly those set in the Roaring Twenties. Though we do not regularly compete, we have placed in a number of competitions, including 1st in the 2004 American Lindy Hop Championships Fast Dance division.
