Kyle Smith, Head DJ - Denver, CO
Hi, I'm Kyle Smith and I just got a new lens for my camera and boy, is
it awesome. My dog is a crazy little runt that my wife and I are
extremely happy to have. The next time you are in San Francisco, you
have to visit Cafe Greco in North Beach, best coffee evar! But I
digress. Have you ever seen Amadeus? Such a great flick.

Sandrine Gressier - Toulouse, France
Sandrine has danced Lindy and Balboa since 2003 and her passion for Swing dance has led her
to seek out great music and to share it.
By great music, she means artists like Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Fletcher Henderson,
Duke Ellington, Jan Savitt, Chick Web, and more! Sounds which crack and hit you in gut and give
you only one feeling: gotta dance until you are completely exhausted!
As a DJ, she has played at several international events: Montréal Balboa Revue (Canada),
Camp Hollywood (Los Angeles, USA), Barswingona (Barcelona, Spain),
Goodnight Sweetheart (London, UK)
And of course, it's necessary to add the French events in which she has participated
for several years: GSDF et GLX (Grenoble), Provence Swing Festival (Marseille),
Montpellier Swing, Capitale Swing & Paris Balboa Shag Festival, Crep'Swing Festival (Rennes),
Frenchie Balboa Festival (Toulouse)...
and, as Main DJ from the beginning at Balboa On The Promenade (Cannes).
And she has DJed at All Balboa Weekend once, and is excited to return!
Laura Windley - Durham, NC
Laura began her DJ career in Greenville, NC in 2001 for the yet-to-be-formed ECU Swing Dance Club,
chosen by default because she had the most swing CDs (which, at the time, was about 10).
Since then, her music collection has expanded greatly to become a joyous selection of swinging
music. She loves female vocalists, bouncy instrumental tunes, songs with lyrics that make her
laugh, and, above all, hot trombone solos. Laura lives in Durham, NC with two cats and a hot
trombone player.
