About me

I launched my swing dancing school in London just three months ago...so thought this would not only be a once in a life time opportunity...it may give me the chance to show Britian how cool swing dancing is and what a joyful dance it is!

My school is Swing Patrol and all my details can be found at: www.swingpatrol.co.uk

We have eight venues around London and that is where the 100 or so dancers come from...Brick Lane, Fulham, Old Street, Clapham Common, Soho, Croydon, Greenwich and Southwark,

The cool thing about my hour is that I will be bringing all my students and teaching team. It will be very interactive with 100 or so swing dancers dancing around the Plinth.

Apart from that...I know my friends will get a great laugh out of the fact I am involved and they will love the spectacle!!

    Congratulations Scott it was a real buzz!

  • Wandered into traffager square and saw all this dancing going on. Absolutely brilliant fun! Amazing. Well done.

  • well done Scottie. Just had a look now at what you did. Fantastic job! Great to see the other dances too. Spreading swing dancing across the globe. The dance so many of us love to do.

  • Brilliant. Well done Scottie. A lot of fun to watch. It's between 3 am & 4 am in Melbourne, Australia, I've got the flu & crawled out of bed to watch this, but now I've watched your performance I'm so full of energy, happy, smiling, jazzed and buzzing. Even tapped my feet and bopped around. Thrilled for you. Great job. What a fabulous experience you'll never forget. WHOOP WHOOP - GO SWING PATROL UK - Go Antony Gormley xoxoxoxo

  • Think I'm enjoying watching almost as much as you are enjoying being up there Scott - haven't stopped smiling since I logged on. Fabulous stuff. Go Swing Dancing!

  • Loved it, well done.. Made me smile for the whole hour.

  • Great plinth entertainment, Scottie...especially with your groupies!

  • Man - I wish I could have been there!!! I was dancing around my living room... Inspired to find out about swing classes in my area - wonderful fun! :-)

  • You are all brilliant! What an international celebration of dance!!

    Fabulous dancing Scott and everyone from London Swingpatrol. Fantastic to watch you all - everyone looks like they are having a great time.

  • Great stuff. Keep them dancing.

    Doug from New York.

  • Great show!

    I'd rather be in London watching this live than sitting in Austria.

  • Very fun to watch! Love the swing!

  • This is the best Plinth slot I have seen so far! Looked brilliant. Is there a swing school in Portsmouth?

  • I've been watching the plinth project since the beginning and I've noticed that music seems to be the one thing that everybody loves. The Elvis impersonator, the young lady leading the crowd in the Time Warp, the swing dancing...all were wonderfully embraced by the crowds.

  • Absolutely fantastic, and great fun!

  • I LOVED your plinth act! I swing dance as well so it was very refreshing to see someone up there doing something that they loved!!

  • Thanks for the dancing....and the view, the tunes...all great!! watching from East of San Francisco!!!

  • Wonderful fun! I am enjoying watching. You look great dancing alone up there, so don't be embarrassed. Thanks for doing this, it brightened my day! (Ohio, USA)

  • go for it, scottie! i'll be watching you from Switzerland:-)

  • The most exciting thing to be done on the Plinth you'll ever see not to mention the 100 other dancers that will be entertaining too!!

    Can't wait to see it!
