Midori and I are excited that the New Jersey Jazz Society has invited us to perform at the PeeWee Stomp on March 4. The Pee Wee Russell Memorial Stomp, is a daylong vintage and traditional jazz music festival sponsored by the New Jersey Jazz Society. Held from 12 noon to 5pm, the event typically features four hot bands/orchestras, plus an opening performance by a quartet of New Jersey’s finest college-age jazz musicians, the annual NJJS Scholarship recipients. As fans of Vince Giordano’s Nighthawks, we are thrilled to be performing at the same event and look forward to dancing to his music as well as the other wonderful bands.

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.
