One of the longest running events since the revival of swing dancing, Camp Hollywood has become one of the premiere place to go to for social dancing and competitions in the world! So it was only natural that Hot Club Stomp would show up and throw down in these contests!

Camp Hollywood stared back in 1998, when Hilary Alexander decided that she wanted to put on a very special event and pay tribute to those vintage swing dances done in the Hollywood movies of the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. The camp is filled with so much to do, you don’t just go to the event you live it. They have instruction vintage hair styles, vintage clothing, music, and of course dance classes. With Laura Keat, Jeremy Otth and Nick Williams all invited to teach at the event, you know it was going to be a Hot Club Stomp kind of a weekend!

The highlight of the weekend is the Pro Strictly Lindy Hop contest. Hot Club Stomp members Mary Freitag, Shesha Marvin, Adrienne Weidert, Nikki Marvin, Mikey Pedroza, Laura Keat and Nick Williams all took the floor to compete for the first place award. In the end Hot Club Stomp took the top two spots with Mikey Pedroza & Nikki Marvin fiercely gaining the 2nd place award. And Nick Williams & Laura Keat earning their 1st place with some astounding dancing!

Take a look…

Camp Hollywood is one of the biggest and best events in the swing dancing world. The entire group always has the greatest time there. It is our home town event and we would support it any which way. We would love to thank everyone involved in the organizing of Camp Hollywood and say great job! We’ll see you next year!
