JOIN SEASON 11 OF JT SWING TEAMS D.C.

Starting in September 2024, JT Swing Teams D.C. will start learning 2 brand-new routines choreographed by 11-time US Open Champions Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann. Erica Smith will be teaching and directing the D.C. team along with Assistant Coach Rachel Rivera. Chris Tuey will be returning as the JV Team Captain.

Choreography is a great way to enhance your dance skills. Instruction will focus on elements of technique, styling, syncopations, musicality, partnering, lines, and performance quality. This is a great opportunity to have fun connecting locally with other WCS enthusiasts, as well as be a member of an exclusive group of JT Swing Team members from around the world.

This 6-month season (September – January), JT Swing Teams D.C. will be learning a new JV (Novice/Intermediate) routine and a new Varsity (High Intermediate & Advanced/All Star) leveled routine. Expect to be challenged this season as you push your dancing to the next level!
