If you’re not a Lindy Hopper, or maybe you are new to the scene, you may not have heard that hundreds of swing dancers gathered in Los Angeles this Labor Day weekend at an event called Camp Hollywood. You may also not have heard, that dancers at ATOMIC Ballroom, killed it this weekend at said event. Until now…

Camp Hollywood just celebrated their 17th year as one of the largest and longing running swing dance camps in the world. It is a weekend full of international dance instructors, live music, and competitors. Even more, it is home of the National Jitterbug Championships, so winning a competition here, is kind of a big deal. And we are proud, so proud, that Orange County, and more specifically, ATOMIC Ballroom dancers, kicked some serious butt this weekend!
