Andrea Byrnes

Andrea Byrnes (she/her) began taking dance classes in primary school where she fell in love with Irish step dancing.  She performed, competed, and taught Irish dancing for over two decades. She began studying Lindy Hop in Durham, North Carolina during graduate school. After moving to Boston in 2014, Andrea dove into Lindy Hop at New School Swing, and later at Boston Lindy Hop. Eventually, her swing dance curiosities led her to Charleston, Balboa, and Authentic Solo Jazz, St. Louis Shag, Collegiate Shag, and of course more Lindy Hop.

She strives for expressive, athletic dancing and loves sharing and evolving ideas with other dancers.
