In 2019, Barbara Leininger and Matt Brand of Bloomington Arthur Murray Dance Studio danced at the festival, and the Studio offered swing dance lessons at a reduced rate for those preparing for Bloomington Boogies! In 2019 we also welcomed student dancers from MotionArts Dance Companies: MAD Co. and mini-MAD, the junior company at MotionArts Dance Companies, where quality dance education meets creativity and passion.
