Episode 27: Ellie Jay and Mike Foncannon

Lindy Hop Dancers Ellie Jay and Mike Foncannon join the show for an enjoyable conversation about dancing, their passion for swing, how they came together as partners, and what brought them to Pasadena in 2021. Los Angeles and Pasadena have a rich history in Lindy Hop, and Ellie and Mike have brought their unique style to this energetic and artistic scene.

Ellie and Mike come from different backgrounds but share a love of dance. They are the creatives behind Sunny Side Syncopators, a social club and dance production company, teach swing and Lindy Hop at the Athletic Garage Dance Center and participate in competitions, such as the International Lindy Hop Championships (Check out their Open Classic Preliminary routine from 2019).
