Midori and I are teaching at the Virginia State Open (VSO) Swing Dance Championships, held September 29 - October 1, in Washington D.C. again this year (our second consecutive at the event). We’ve got three Peabody and one Charleston class this year. We had a blast last year sharing what we know about both dances. This year we plan on further exploring both dances. Our tentative class list includes:
- Charleston: Dance Your Way into the Newsreels
- Peabody: Five Essential Steps
- Peabody: Breaks, Runs & Syncopations
- Peabody: Combinations & Dancing Peabody’s Tempo

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.
