NOLA Jitterbugs

We teach swing dancing and its historical and cultural connections to jazz, swing & blues music. The NOLA Jitterbugs Entertainment branch can show up anywhere.

NOLA Jitterbugs Dance School is open year around to people of all ages. We are working hard to create an educational program that both teaches dance and keeps us in touch with our history and culture. Have a party? Want a band or a dance lesson? We can help!

The NOLA Jitterbugs teach swing dancing (specifically Lindy Hop ) from an evolutional, historical, & a musically intuitive perspective.

Beginners learn 8 count rhythms first, not 6, we use pre-swing era/ragtime dances as exercises in leading and following and to discuss the history of the music and dance, and we always have LIVE MUSIC in the last class of the series.
