The Downtown Stompers is a group of dedicated and passionate lindy hoppers from Cat's Corner Swing Dance School in Montreal. As instructors, they live to share their love of the dance that captivated the hearts of young jitterbugs around the world in the roaring 20’s through the 1940s. With incredible dancers such as Aleix Prats Ferrer who has taught in Barcelona, Paris and Toulouse, Amanda Fong who has been teaching swing dancing since the age of 17, and Meghan Gilmore whose addiction to the lindy hop got her swinging out, beaming with a smile from ear to ear.

Three years ago, our tenth anniversary celebration brought together over 200 dancers. More recently, we’ve decided to go directly to the source of what we like most - social dancing! So no workshop classes, just a relaxing weekend among dance friends. Come join us in celebrating over ten years of Lindy Hop and Swing renewal in vibrant Montreal, Canada.
Never stepped foot on a dance floor? We have classes to get you dancing pronto.
We also teach on the West Island.
Come try it out and meet new people. Crash course at 8:30pm. No partner needed. Beautiful studio in downtown Montreal.
