Our MC

Elizabeth Blanco
Elizabeth Blanco
Elizabeth Blanco is a swing dancer, actor, and improviser; she is back again for another great year of entertaining and informing you as the Victoria Lindy Exchange's MC.
Travelling wearily from Edmonton, she will be celebrating living in Victoria for 10 years this coming October. One of her favourite things about Victoria (aside from the ocean air, lush natural landscape, and mild winters) is that this is where she found and fell in love with swing dancing. It wasn’t long after she arrived here that she enrolled in her first swing dance lesson, and could be found swinging out at every event in town. She’s excited to meet and dance with you all!
