The evolution of Cyle & Alexis

The Juniors Division at ILHC has been one of the highlights of the event every year! One of the owners of ILHC, Nina Gilkenson started dancing when she was 13 attending dance events and competing with juniors and adults. Its at truly beautiful thing to see how the cycle of Lindy Hop continues with Nina now providing a space for these amazing youngsters dancing and growing year from year!

A few years ago, I got a chance to work with some of the kids from the Cleveland area, they call them selves The Cleveland Junior Jitterbugs and they are lead by the fabulous Valerie Salstrom! They have come a long way from then with help from some of the finest Lindy Hoppers alive today. I couldn’t be prouder of them and thank them for their inspiration and their drive and their energy they inject into Lindy Hop! And now I present to you Cyle Dixon and his partner Alexis Davila!
