Carolyn "Purple Pyro" Hocquard
By day, Carolyn is a mild-mannered student of architecture. She is easily the best-travelled person on the team, having lived in more different countries than all the other members combined, and their parents.
Superpowers:
Occasionally breathes fire (cool!)
Smoooooooth follow
Ridiculously photogenic
Weaknesses:
Anything purple crumbles her willpower
Chris "Hairy Spice" Harris
By day an electronics engineer, Chris is frequently pulled over by the thought police for excessive cleverness. By night, his secret identity is a flashy-dressed, creative, and ambitious dancer. His costume has been known to include a teal zoot suit, silver crocodile skin shoes, and once even a pair of tutus (or would that be fourfours?).
He is an avid social dancer with a remarkable amount of musical creativity. On the dance team, his is the voice that urges the loudest for bigger, better, and faster! (sav, you totally forgot "higher"! -Chris)
Christabel "Giggles" Kerslake
Dancing is not new to Christabel, which becomes very apparent when you see her on the dance floor. An accomplished dancer, Christabel has performed on stage and on television and has competed in numerous dance events. She is an experienced teacher and has no trouble imparting her knowledge to her students.
Superpowers:
Almost indestructible
Boundless energy
Always ready to be flipped and/or tossed
Weaknesses:
*Almost* indestructible
David "Professor Chaos" Lee
In addition to being a notorious dancer, Professor Chaos is also an accomplished evil genius. A secretive man, the professor keeps a confident but quiet demeanor. Although no proof has ever been found, he is rumored to be culpable for randomly disintegrating left socks. Now it appears David has turned the full force of his mind to destroying left feet.
No one is quite sure exactly how this diabolical scheme will play out, and why it would require his mastery of Lindy Hop, but one day on his way out after practice this mysterious man was heard to say “Soon I will harness the full power of the triple step… Muahahahahaha”. Even so, David is a talented, hardworking and well liked member of the team, and I’m not just saying that to score points with the future overlord.
Kevin "Sav" Savage
Kevin is an energetic and creative dancer, like a dervish with a brightly-coloured paintbrush. When not dancing or working on para-dancing activities, Sav spends his spare time slaying dragons (any monster will do, really).
Superpowers:
Uncanny ability to make puns
Anti-gravity hair
Shirts that can be heard miles away
Weaknesses:
Mild fondness for fantasy miniatures
(Understatement of the year. -Christabel)
Natalie "Lollies" Balfour
Soon to be Dr. Balfour is a certified expert on all things shaken. From booties to earthquakes, she is definitely your girl. Nat has danced her way across Australia and Europe but she passionately avows her Kiwi heritage. On the dance floor she showcases a warm personality, and some hot styling she picked up from the penguins in Antarctica.
Superpowers:
Killer accent
Crustal anisotropy (whatever that is)
Explosives training
Weaknesses:
Balboa
Sara "Don't you Dare Give Me A Nickname" Cowan
Sara, our youngest member, has been dancing since the tender young age of 18. Whether it be to the music of the DJ or band, the music of her violin or accordian, or the music of her various personalities; she's never stopped moving. Ironically, being the youngest member, she's also taken on the role of "Team Mom".
Superpowers:
Ready supply of pins, drugs, or chocolate
Multiple personalities (all lovely!)
Knowledge of obscure Russian literature
Weaknesses:
Nicknames
Tina "T" Lee
Tina is very in touch with her playful, energetic inner child. She's seen sporting short skirts and suggesting them for the team costume. She began in belly dance but got eager about swing two years ago and hasn't stopped dancing yet. She's hardcore.
Directions for use as follows:
Dosage: As much as possible
Side effects: Excessive energy and smiling
Caution: Beware of flying elbows and obtrusive kneecaps
Wayne "Wayneopedia" Fang
"Wayneopedia" Fang is a programmer analyst who started dancing two years ago. His favourite colours are red and blue (which make purple), he drinks iced tea, and he strongly dislikes stupid drivers. Sounds normal, right? Wrong!
The only thing that makes Wayne different that the rest of us loonies on the team is that he has mastered the subtle art of appearing normal to the uninitiated. But we see through his clever deception. He is actually a criminal mastermind waiting to take over the world. (Right after David takes it over, I guess. That must be part of his plan.)
Most of our teachers are also members of the performance team. You can pick their brains (and superpowers) in our dance classes.
