Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five, featuring Hilary Alexander is the nation’s premier swing dance band.

The 7-piece Campus Five captures the true sound of the Swing-era, with all the energy and excitement that inspired millions to dance. Both founders have been dedicated Swing dancers for over 20 years, and the Campus Five have been featured at the premier Swing dance events around the world.
