After several years of traveling and visiting various dance clubs in the Midwest, in particular the Chicago Rebels, Don and Jean wanted to begin a Rebels Swing Dance Club in the Indianapolis area.

Since they already are in the DJ business, as well as Dance Instructors, they felt they had the foundation for starting a club.

They love the idea of dance clubs for the reason of exposing people to dancing (in particular West Coast Swing) and also all of the music (Don's forte') that can be played for West Coast Swing Dancing.

The socialization aspect (Jean's favorite) of dancing is endless. New friendships are beginning every club date. Besides the obvious benefit of learning to dance, dancing offers great exercise, new-found friendships, and involvement in a "dance family". Of all of the positive ingredients mentioned, the most rewarding ones for Don and Jean are the friendships they have developed along the way. Here's what Don and Jean have to say about their interest:

"We have been couple dancing since January 1993 and hosting as Disc Jockeys and Emcees since 1998. I’ll bet you can’t guess where we came up with the name "DANCIN’ DJ’s" can you? We thoroughly enjoy both facets of our profession. Our interest in dance began with Line Dancing, Cha Cha, Waltz, 2 Step, East Coast Swing, and Polka. Finally West Coast Swing caught our eye and all the other dances fell by the wayside."

"We teach West Coast Swing, Night Club Two Step, East Coast Swing and Country Two Step both privately and in group environments. We have lived in Columbus, Indiana since 1983 and commute to Indianapolis for various dance and DJ functions. The Disc Jockey end of our profession includes wedding receptions, parties, and reunions as well as Swing Dance events."
