DAVE WARNER
Having entertained a worldwide audience from his living room with his music selections on the Dave's Lounge podcast (www.daveslounge.com), he has taken his musical knowledge into the blues dance community, where he's building a reputation as one of the Triangle area's top blues DJs, and as someone who finds great danceable blues tunes where other DJs don't think to look.

Dave has been swing dancing for more than a decade. VBLX 2010 is his first out-of-town event as a blues DJ. Dave also promises not to be too distracted by the World Cup this weekend.

Hether believes that like the dancer, the blues DJ needs to be connected to the music. She loves to see the crinching and contortions in facial expressions when music lovers really feel the music. Then, she knows they get it. She loves to see it in the blues dancers as they create cheoreography on the dance floor.

JEFF MILLER
As a Chicago-native with the good ole Chicago Blues still in his heart, plus a closet blues harp player, no wonder he got easily hooked into Blues Dance after his first exchange's late night blues room and all went to Hell after that. He helped create SwingVirginia.com & Dirt Cheap Blues events and keep the scenes alive.

He's been Blues & Swing DJing since '03 and has been all over the country at workshops, exchanges, house parties and wherever music is to be played from NY to FL to TX to IL and knows where else. His lack of sleep helps his library growing to find the songs to keep your butt on the dance floor and out of the chair. He'll crank out your faves, plus his famous curveballs that make you say "What the hell is this? But...let's dance!"

JOELLE ANDREWS
She began her dancing career quite accidentally. Hip hop, ballroom, salsa and Argentine tango later, she found Lindy Hop. In 2006, she was introduced to Blues Dancing and has been bluesing since. She loves the connection based partnering, and of course the music.

Joelle is a co-founder of, as well as organizer and DJ with, the Raleigh Durham Blues Dancers. She has attended many national blues workshop weekends and exchanges, including Austin Blues Party, Blues Muse and Enter the Blues. When DJing, Joelle enjoys playing all styles of blues, but gives special preference to classic female vocalists, double entendre lyrics, and her own special blend of modern-indie-gone-bluesy.

KRISTY MILLIKEN
She is a native of Music City - Nashville, Tennessee, where she began dancing shortly after she was born. No, really. At 17 days old, she had her debut to the dancing world with her parents on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry as the "Youngest Dancin' Baby" on the television show Dancin' USA. In 2003, she was finally introduced to Lindy hop and became an instant addict. She began DJing, teaching, and organizing local and regional events in 2005, and has helped develop four dance groups in the greater Nashville area.

Kristy has DJed and taught at many events in the southeast, and has also been a frequent Lindy and blues DJ in Raleigh, NC where she now resides. You may have recently heard her spinning in Raleigh, Nashville, Memphis (Bluesalicious '09 and '10), Charleston (CHEX3 & 4), and Virginia Beach (VBLX '09). She enjoys spinning music with undeniable musicality, songs that make dancers think a little bit outside of their box, and music that just feels good. Her musical influences include Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Jimmie Lunceford, Nina Simone, Solomon Burke, and John Lee Hooker. She has recently invested in a large swing and jazz vinyl library that she loves to spin from as well.
