teachers and researchers of traditional jazz dance
On Saturday, November 13, the 92nd Street Y will host a swing dance celebrating the contributions of women to jazz music and dance. The evening features the swingin’ sound of The Harlem Blues & Jazz Band, a ‘national treasure’ formed in 1973 by musicians who actually “jumped” at the Woodside and “stomped” at the Savoy that you must remember from one of last year’s dances.

We perform and teach popular and historical social dances of the Jazz Age and Swing Era and have appeared on stage, independent film, and local and national television. Known for our performance and our research of social dancing, we also consult and choreograph for period productions, particularly those set in the Roaring Twenties. Though we do not regularly compete, we have placed in a number of competitions, including 1st in the 2004 American Lindy Hop Championships Fast Dance division.
