Introducing The Swingchesters

They dance under the name of the Swingchesters, Margaret (61 years old) and Ron (81 years old), but are also know as The Jitterbug Dancers.

They often clear the floor at various dance venues around Melbourne and Victoria. They could dance at a fast and furious pace for 30 minutes. And if more is wanted, they are only too happy to dance more.

They entertain for the Show Biz club and the Entertainers club in Melbourne, as well as various ballroom /Rock and Roll dance schools.

They are also known as the 'King and Queen of swing'.

In the year 2001 they were placed 5th in the London/European Lindy Hop open aged competition. In 2003 they came second at the Wintersun Lindy Hop open category at Surfers Paradise, and came second in the open age international Lindy Hop championship at the Crown Casino in 2004.

I would like to thank you for booking the wonderful Swingchesters for the Darebin Seniors Festival event held at the Darebin Arts and Entertainment Centre yesterday. Ron and Margaret Winchester started the event off with a bang as they danced around the tables where over 200 guests from many different ethnic groups and backgrounds were enjoying afternoon tea. The Swingchesters soon had everyone clapping and cheering . The theme of our event was Active and Healthy Ageing and the Swingchesters certainly embodied this in both body and spirit. We would like you to pass on our heartfelt thanks to Ron and Margaret.
