Our Team

Scott Cupit  & Claudia Funder

Swing Patrol Directors

Scott and Claudia started Swing Patrol over 10 years ago in Melbourne Australia. Today Swing Patrol is one of the largest Swing Dance Schools in the world. They took the brave step of coming to London in February 2009. For many years they have presented the Melbourne and Sydney Swing Festivals. They are now extremely excited to present the London Swing Festival.


 

Pippa Tooher

Event Manager

Pippa has a background in recreation and event management and has worked for a circus in New York City. She has been involved with swing dancing events for many years. Pippa started work on the London Swing Festival in April 2009 and has enjoyed the journey enormously. She truly hopes you enjoy the festival.

Peta Cook

Volunteer Coordinator & Front Desk Manager

Peta has been involved with Swing Dance Camps back in Australia. She has a huge wealth of experience to bring to the festival. She teaches, she organises volunteers, she manages your check in. She is pretty much Super Woman.


 

Fiona Warner

Late Nights Manager

Fiona has become the back bone of Swing Patrol London. She holds the role of Administration Office for Swing Patrol and works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep us all Swinging. She will be the one you want to make friends with for this festival as she is in charge of the Late Nights. Fi will do an amazing job of keeping you all dancing until well after the sun is up.


 

Janet Whiley

Housing Coordinator

Janet is a great organiser and is totally fair and generous. She has been working hard to find beds for all the out-of-town visitors coming to the festival. We currently have people from 15 countries attending. Janet is a great ambassador for swing in London.


 

Chris Gammie

DJ Coordinator

Chris has been scouting around London looking for the very bery best DJ's for LSF. Bourn and raised in London he's been dancing Lindy Hop since 2005 and has come to know many people from the London Swing Community. If his own DJ sets are anything to go by you can be assurred that the music at LSF will be awesome.


 

Simone Edwards

Customer Service Manager & T-Shirt Guru

Simone is a funny warm and patient and is bringing her super customer service skills to the table while she helps Peta out on front desk. Simone is great for any questions you have once at the festival - she knows all and if she doesn't she'll find out. Si mone has managed the Swing Patrol T-Shirts for some time now and will make sure everyone gets a funky new shirt.


 

Ben Cook

Tech Coordinator

Ben, apart from being a super dancer and great teacher, is also a technical genius. He will make sure that the sound for all your classes and for the late nights is running like clockwork. If it's broke - he fixes it. Love your work Ben!


 

Laura Knight

VIP Liason

Ever dilligent, Laura will be on hand throughout the festival, AtoZ in one hand, mobile in the other hoping to make life a little easier for our teaching team. You may see her on a dancefloor at some point...but only after she's made sure that no one is on the wrong bus and everyone's had a cup of tea.


Laura has the task of looking after all the LSF VIP's. This will be no mean feat considering how many of them there are...Good Luck Laura!
