Never Surrender On What You Truly Want. Find a way, not an excuse. Find a reason to do it, not to give up on it. Create a path where there is none, because you will only regret it otherwise! There is always a reason not to do it and always a way to fail, but there is also always a way to succeed and a reason to do it. This was the place, where the magic of #LindyHop and #Swingdance started from and am happy to be back to give it out to more dancers, who are willing to take it like the way I did it. From all other districts that I went through only #Kitgum district as tried the best to engage girls into the dance and am so happy for the improvement that. I love it the way each of them was feeling the music and dance even though it's their first time to give it a try. I believe with time, we shall more dancers from Kitgum who are like me to travel the world as they share with others. #blacklindyhoppersfund #blhfoundation #lindyhopperslife #LindyHop #lindyhopper #lindyhopping #lindyfocus #heartofdanceafricarhythm #herrangdancecamp #pacificswingdancefoundation #frannkiemanning #SoloJazz #solojazzdance #solocharleston #solojazzmoves #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #Ugandaswingkids #SwingDanceUganda (at Kitgum Youth Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl8IEe1raGo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Never give up. I made the decision never to quit no matter what, no matter how many times I fail, or how many times things get difficult, two things are going to happen; I either going to succeed, or I going to die trying! So now, I tell you to begin and make the decision that I will never ever going to quit no matter what, then you will succeed, it’s as simple as that! When I started this project, I knew that it will be hard in terms of funds for me to reach out all the districts with the team, I want to move with, but nevertheless I won't quit no matter what. Introduction of Lindyhop and Swing Dance in Northern Uganda is now in three big districts. I will be following up to see the growth of the dance and also sharing with them more platforms. Calling for more support so that we can finish up this project in Kitgum district well. I know people are really eager to watch the videos of the workshops. I have one challenge that my phone can't post videos and if I get a new then well and off for you to enjoy a lot of lovely videos. @the_love_wiz @bluemarbleday @blacklindyhf @jazzlinswing @lost0in0seoul @bad_ass_jazz_festival @usmissionuganda @lindyhopchamps @lindy_boogie_hoppers @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @get_hep_swing @tenaarmstrong @anduze_jazz @herrangdancecamp @kaninikiiru @whatchaknow_jo @cousinskeether @sunnysideswingstudio @leelapetronio @littlebigswingcamp @camphollywood #blacklindyhoppersfund #BLHF #bluemarble #blhfoundation #blackdance #lindyhopper #lindy #Lindyhop #lindyhopping #lindyfocus #hermeslindy #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #yoga #acroyoga #instructorokurutgeorge #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #Uganda (at Kitgum Municipality) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl2ynNHo00z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Welcome to @anduze_jazz and @jazzoparc was amazing Jazz Dance Camp and Jazz festival I have really loved, dancing on the street with tge live band moving around the small town of Anduze before the festival and dance camp starts. Sometimes I fail to the words to use to express my happiness and adventurous life in Anduze and France in large ⭕ I hope now I won't be missing out this kind of Jazz Dance Camps. Let's dance anyway that's the language we can speak now and i really miss you gal @llana and I hope we can dance again together soon. #AnduzeJazzDanceCamp #Jazzoparc #festival #lindyhopperslife #blhfoundation #frannkiemanning #swingdancers #JazzRock #SoloJazz #AuthenticJazz #bodypercussion #solojazzmoves #traveldancer #traveltheworld #dancelife #SwingDanceUganda #OkurutGeorge (at Anduze) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgUWj89IelH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I visited some of the children from Heart of Dance African Rhythm whom I have been teaching swing dance during the covid19 situation and they are really so happy at school and now I need to start teaching them from school, so that they don't forget Lindyhop and Swing dance moves. We need to keep the culture on moving alive and am still calling upon you all to stand up with me on this moment again. #blhfoundation #SwingDanceUganda #LindyHop #SwingDance #SoloJazz #charleston #1920s #1930s #1920sjazz #dance #frankiemanning #ugandaswingkids #happiness #smile #support (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbHmGFRt4pk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happiness of Swing Dance with @smilingheartafricafoundation children in one of the slums called Naguru that's found in Kampala city. It's there first time ever to practice Swing Dance and they were so happy for it even to continue always with me going there. The choreography was from @jeanlouis1120 who shared with me because he had been following my work for awhile and he also wanted to share the love with children of Uganda 🇺🇬 through dance that's why he shared that choreo with us. This same choreography has been done by different dance communities in Uganda 🇺🇬 and I will be sharing them as others, it's their first time ever but others no and you see the difference of happiness among them. Am so happy that #Lindyhop and #Swing dance is growing up slowly. For the full video check out on my YouTube channel. https://youtu.be/Cen8p7FQCWs We are still calling for the support always so that we can reach the goal of implementing Lindyhop and Swing Dance in Uganda 🇺🇬 at large. @frankiemanningfoundation @winterblackswingfestival @blacklindyhf @blacklindyhop @blklivesmatter @black_lives_matter_257_select @augustomanhica @albahamburgerin @the_arts_today_ @hotsugarband @allthatswing.lt @blablaswing @jenhodgebass @awhite211 @christanellamo @time2swing @laetitiafall @john.degregorio @exposuretourism @womengoglobal @thesourceafrica @bluemarbleday @32degreeseast #blhf #blhfoundation #swingout #Charleston #lindyhoplife #lindyhopfestival #lindyhopmoves #lindyfocus #swingdancing #swingers #SwingDanceUganda #smilingheartafricafoundation #okurutgeorge (at Naguru Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVUfwH8odrW/?utm_medium=tumblr

Swing Dance and Lindyhop in Uganda 🇺🇬. Has different communities in Uganda 🇺🇬 have started to welcome swing dance and Lindyhop in their communities like the way Mbale dancers in Bugema town did and now we shall keep following up on how they are continuing with the training always. Teaching Shimsham to these young girls and boys was lovely even though they were saying that it's really so hard for them but the first time that's what happens in every new dance learning, it's the same thing to us, because music 🎵🎵 was so tricky. We need to thank everyone who is always mentoring, motivating and encouraging us to keep sharing the love of Swing Dance and Lindyhop in Uganda 🇺🇬 because together we can make it big. Stay tuned to our next community, we shall be reaching out to and also the videos of the classes will be shared so that you can see, the happiness of these young girls and boys dancing seriously. #Mbale #connecting #blhf #blhfoundation #ilhc2021 #swingout #Lindyhop #swinger #swingdancing #africa #swingconnects #Swing #swingjammerz #swingfest #swingers #lindy #lindyfocus #lindyhopfestival @lost0in0seoul @blacklindyhf @theswinginhermlins @intotheswing @monasunshine @hermlinvilletimes @swingfortyone @swingistanbul @snaileybailey @tasha_b_va @ottawaswingdancesociety @alpharhythmkings @dimitri.alexsia @empireswing @swingstuffpodcast @swingdancingegypt @duncan_swing_jazz (at Bugema, Mbale, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVM2Rpvovdo/?utm_medium=tumblr

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him. Happiness and excitement which was filled me and children whom I always teach yoga and swing dance after receiving a food relief for their families. Thanks so much @vintageglamourlife for the choreography which I did with the children and the support you have given out. Not forgetting @blacklindyhf for being with me since day one and always mentoring me to be on the roots and through that always inspiring, motivating and encouraging the communities, I go to teach the love of Lindyhop and swing dance. For anyone willing to support please don't fear to reach me or just donate on my gofundme page below.
