Guest DJ
Paul Crenshaw
Paul has been dancing Lindy Hop and Blues since 2013, after being introduced in Virginia by some friends and learning to love the community. He started to DJ for fusion events in 2015 and has been organizing local Lindy Hop dances or events in the Salt Lake/Utah Valley area since. Social dancing is in his soul. Of interest to him are Jazz and Blues music history, the Black roots and history of dancing, and the equal access and representation within organizing. It’s his firm belief that we join for the dancing, but we stay for the people we meet!
