Jess 
McLachlan
Jess came along to lindy from a background in other solo dance styles. This has made her style and solo movement a stand out part of her dancing and gives her a style with real flair. She has competed nationally and internationally although she hates to go upside down.
Carla Benton
Carla catches the eye with her personality and sass. She brings her A-game to every dance and teaches you a lesson or two in the school of attitude. Carla spends her spare time teaching Scottish line dances as well so she has slotted right into our teaching team very easily. She has been dancing with the Swingtown Rebels for many years and always carries with her a smile.
Angela Brett
Angela has a natural ability with dancing and came into swing dancing bursting with creativity, style and ideas. She held her wild side at bay so she could learn the basic steps and now that
the fundamentals are in place she has an amazing style exploding with personality. Angela is an excellent leader and follower and is currently the leader of our performance troupe this year. She is a pleasure to watch but be sure to ask her for a dance on the social floor!
Nathan Allpress
Nathan has been dancing for years, dabbling in Modern Jive and Salsa at University, but not really hitting his stride until he discovered swing in 2012. He loves Lindy Hop at all different speeds, with people of all different levels – he particularly prides himself on being friendly (ask him for a dance next time you see him down at social dancing!). One feature of Nathan’s dancing which makes him great fun to dance with is the clarity of his moves – this is also extremely handy when
you’re attending one of his classes! He takes special delight in seeing people “get it” when learning a new move.
Rachel Skews
Rachel has been dancing her whole life, but didn’t start swing dance until her first year of university in Auckland, and (many) years later she’s still going- just now in Christchurch! Lindy hop, balboa, solo jazz, blues, she loves them all at any speed you set her. She thoroughly enjoys teaching, performing, and social dancing so you’ll see her dancing at most every opportunity.
Liz Horton
Liz couldn’t get enough swing from the first class, and she chalks a big portion of that dancing love to the friendly, 
open-to-newbies atmosphere here at Swingtown Rebels. She tries to embody that vibe, which is why she learned to follow and to lead both right from the start: so she could dance with everyone! Fast or slow, any style, she loves it all, so ask her for a dance!
