Midori and I will be giving a lecture/demonstration to a group of St. John’s University students on November 14, 2005. The lecture plus video and dance demonstration, organized by Professor Jessica Bickley, will trace the lindy hop’s evolution from early jazz dances such as the cakewalk, breakaway, and charleston into its present form.

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.
