Tena Morales-Armstrong is one of those figures in the lindy hop scene who is rarely in the spotlight, but has had such a huge impact on our dance for more than 20 years. A dancer, teacher, performer, judge and organizer, she is perhaps best known as the driving force behind the International Lindy Hop Championships. Ryan Swift managed to get Tena in front of the mic for the latest edition of his podcast, The Track. Listen to an insightful two hour conversation about her dance journey, winning the inaugural American Lindy Hop Championships in 1998, running ILHC, and her passion for bringing together the historically Black partner dances with lindy hop.
