Hola Dancers!
It’s the end of September and I’m still walking! But, I’m almost finished with this 1,500 kilometer trek and after a long rest for my feet, I’m looking forward to some dancing! I’m back online on October 10th. If you want some private lessons, send me a message.
Video Inspiration
Check out this video of Soochan, Andy, Yuyu, and Nalla performing at Authentic Jazz Weekend. This event happens every January in Seoul, South Korea. Fun fact: Seoul has probably the largest Lindy Hop scene in the world.
Their choreography pairs perfectly with the playfulness and energy of Muggsy Spainier & His Orchestra’s “Two O’Clock Jump.” I adore how they use solo moments to show the personality of each dancer.

Song of the Month
Give a listen to “Giggle in the Wiggle” by the Candy Jacket Jazz Band. This song just makes me want to dance down the street pretending that my life is a musical.
Candy Jacket Jazz Band is headed by Josh Collazo. He’s the drummer for Jonathan Stout’s band as well as Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
The entire album is a great one to add to your music collection.
