teachers and researchers of traditional jazz dance

Teaching

We teach Swing Era and Jazz Age dances from Lindy Hop (Swing) all the way back to the Castle Walk. We teach weekly dance classes at Sandra Cameron Dance Center in New York, where we run the Swing program. We also teach workshops regionally, nationally, and abroad. We’ve taught workshops in Toronto, Tokyo, Chicago and Washington, D.C.; at competitions, such as the Virginia State Open, at colleges, such as Ohio University and Hofstra University; K-12 schools, such as La Guardia High School for the Performing Arts, Brooklyn’s Poly Prep, Baruch College High School, and P.S. 93; and many regional dance events in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
