The Swing Era show

There was nothing more exhilarating and exciting this past year then performing LIVE on stage with the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra featuring Wynton Marsalis. It had been close to 16 years since my last appearance with this incredible band when I travelled on tour with them for the “FOR DANCERS ONLY” tour in 2000. And to come back and actually dance in the “House of Swing” at the prestigious ROSE THEATER, that was just an honor and a memory that will live forever.

I’ll never forget the moment when I had to make a decision as to whether I would do this show with just one partner or bring in the artillery and present the full lineup of dancers from our Rhythm Stompers team. That decision turnout out to be the best thing I could have done. With the directorial help of the marvelous Gaby Cook and a line up of some of my favorite talents, we put together a show in less than 4 days and the results were well beyond my imagination.

Here are a few photos from that week back in NOV of 2016.
