DJs

Geoff Newell

Geoff hails from Athens, Ga, where he began his Lindy Hop Journey in the early part of 2014. He has DJ’d weekly and monthly dances in Athens, Greenville SC, and Charlotte, NC, and loves spreading his unique blend of swing tunes to dancers across the Southeast Region. He approaches every DJ set with one sole mission: to keep the whole floor swingin’ all night long!

Callie Gieck

Based in Greenville, SC, Callie has been dancing Lindy Hop and Blues since February, 2015. She loves DJing locally as well as around the world as it allows her to spread her love and excitement of dance. Able to read the energy of the room, Callie plays the music that will keep you dancing all night!

Mimi Liu

After the Lindy bug bit her good in 2010, swing, jazz, and blues have found permanent residences in Mimi's heart and she likes it that way! She plays music that inspires you to move and brings out the creativity in you, making sure you're feeling all sorts of good by the end of her set!

Brad Nathanson

Brad had been dancing for over a decade before he started DJing for swing and blues dances around his hometown of Charlotte, NC in 2011. Since then he has been named the resident DJ for GottaSwing Charlotte and has DJed at dance events in almost every state in the southeast (I'm gunning for you next, Mississippi!) as well as in New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. You can catch him next when he returns for his 3rd year as a DJ for the Canadian Swing Championships in Montreal in May. 

     "I love finding new swing and blues music," Brad said recently in an interview with himself. "There's no greater thrill than watching dancers scurry across the floor because they just haaaaave to find someone to dance with. Hey, watch where you're putting that microphone!"
