John Holmstrom & Melissa Rutherfoord

Teaches at Big City Swing

John Holmstrom
John began dancing in 2005 in Chicagoland and joined the Swing Society at the University of Illinois in 2006, where he grew as a dancer, organizer, DJ, and instructor. In 2009, he began traveling nationally to further his dancing through classes and competition, both individually and as a member of the Hoosier Hot Shots. Now that he is returning to Chicago, he is excited to share what a happy dance Lindy Hop is with all of you!

Melissa Rutherfoord
Melissa was introduced to lindy hop in 1997 in her hometown of Phoenix, AZ. She moved to Tucson in 2001 and briefly joined the University of Arizona’s swing dance club, the SwingCats. She took a hiatus from dancing and moved to Chicago to establish her career as a theatrical scenic artist. She rediscovered her love for lindy in 2010 through Big City Swing and has danced nonstop ever since. Instructing since 2012, she is grateful to have the opportunity to share her love of lindy hop with those discovering it for the first time, as well as those finding their way back.
