About this user

Mandi Gould is passionate about dancing and especially about giving absolute beginner adults an opportunity to take their first steps. Mandi is well known for her spark; she brings a special energy and spirit to her lessons that makes the experience memorable. She has a reputation for creating a welcoming and exciting environment for her students.

Mandi has taught dance lessons in Toronto for over ten years as well as having taught across Canada and the United States, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, China, and most recently in South Korea.

As a swing dance specialist, Mandi Gould has been dancing the Lindy Hop since the beginning of 1998. She has had the privilege of teaching with Frankie Manning for three different workshops and with Chazz Young for two. In 2002 she directed her missionary efforts in Saint Petersburg and Moscow where the helped to push the Russian Lindy Hop communities forward. In 2003 she managed two North American tours for the Harlem Hotshots on the West Coast and in the North East. From 2002 to 2004 she assisted as an administrator for the Herräng Dance Camp, was Herrängs original DJ Coordinator, and organized the Swing Bus in 2004.

Her passion for original swinging jazz is closely tied to her dancing and teaching. Her artistic mandate is to study and promote the culture of the swing era including classic jazz music, history and vintage jazz dances. Though her primary focus is Lindy Hop as a social swing dance, she is also dedicated to performance Lindy Hop, Charleston, Black Bottom and Classic Jazz Dances.
