The Jam Improvised social dancing is integral to the tradition and modern-day expression of Lindy Hop and Jazz Dance. Now that you’ve seen our show, we invite you to dance: find some space and join us while the Eyal Vilner Big Band plays a 30-minute set!
About Lindy Hop Lindy Hop is the preeminent, swing-jazz, partnered dance. In the late 1920’s, movement elements, including those of The Charleston, The Collegiate, and The Texas Tommy, were swirling together in African-American communities to form a new style, and they coalesced around a musical groove called “swing.” Dance champion George Snowden supplied the name, “Lindy Hop,” in reference to Charles Lindberg, whose recent transatlantic flight was the phenomenon of the moment. The name stuck, and the dance was popularized by early masters at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. Frankie Manning, and other exponents of the 1930’s and 1940’s, incorporated choreography and high-flying “air steps.” Frequently presented by Savoy bouncer Herbert White as “Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers,” these champions dominated clubs, contests, stages, and film. Manning had a phasic career, retiring after the swing era, but reengaging with the dance industry in the 1980’s. In the intervening years, visionaries such as Norma Miller and Mama Lu Parks sustained Lindy Hop, and even adapted to new music genres. At the end of the 20th century, a surge of popularity sowed modern, swing-dance scenes all around the world. There are now plenty of non-U.S. hotspots, like Stockholm and Seoul, with robust dance communities. Lindy Hop also continues to thrive in the U.S. and in Harlem, where the dance never stopped.
A Note From The Braintrust SW!NG OUT presents social Lindy Hop and vernacular dance as a jazz, concert experience. It is a blend of prearrangement and improvisation, where only some of the steps are choreographed; only some of the music is on the page. Performers and spectators are invited to interpret the material in real time, to share in the exhilaration of creation. Even though Lindy Hop and vernacular jazz have been used in other productions for nostalgia or novelty, there has not been a touring, evening-length program celebrating what these dances have become. By assembling genuine swing-dance superstars in an improvisatory space, this show offers a unique glimpse into their universe: the modern Lindy Hop scene. For us, Lindy Hop tackles the issues of society-at-large, but in an arena of exaggerated humanity. Touch, trust, gender, history, intimacy, and partnership get ground together there, in the crucible of jazz, and they are reified as art. Our mission with SW!NG OUT is to search for perspective on these complexities, while embracing the joy of jazz dance and music. Thank you for joining us. —The Braintrust: Evita Arce, LaTasha Barnes, Nathan Bugh, Macy Sullivan, Caleb Teicher, and Eyal Vilner

ERÁN FINK (Drums) is originally from Israel, where he attended the Thelma Yellin High School of the Arts.

LAURA GLAESS (Dancer) started dancing in 2001 in San Antonio. It wasn’t a very large scene, and her teachers hadn’t been dancing very long, but she instantly fell in love with Lindy Hop – the music, the history, and everything involved. When we’re not in a pandemic, Laura travels the world teaching, competing, performing, and learning. She is a passionate believer in dancing with swing, with rhythm, and in pushing for something new while maintaining a connection with the original vintage context of Lindy Hop. She feels that honoring the history of the dance and its inventors is a crucial part of practicing the dance. She is madly in love with jazz music and movement and strives to convey that love to her students. She is also a strong believer that the best thing to do to get good at dancing is to DANCE. Classes are amazing and helpful, but they are merely supplemental to getting out there on the social dance floor and just doing it. She believes that the local scene is the backbone of the global community, so she is an active participant in her home music and dance communities. Laura is also an artist, and works on blending her love of music and movement with a fine art medium. You can buy her prints at www.etsy.com/shop/lauraglaessart and her T-shirt designs at lauraglaess.threadless.com/, and you can see her latest routines and dance tutorials at www.youtube.com/c/lauraglaess. AJ HOWARD (Dancer) is a California-based dancer with influences from Sacramento, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, who brings a unique style and energy to the Lindy Hop community. Getting introduced to the world of Lindy Hop at the age of 19, he quickly formed an appreciation for dance, which led to him running home, getting changed, and heading out to dance almost every day of the week after working his job at a car dealership. He burst into the scene in 2016, winning competitions throughout the U.S. with his partner Jennifer, showing the dance world what Sacramento really had to offer! Competing at international events such as Camp Hollywood and the International Lindy Hop Championships, he became well known for his generous use of aerials paired with his energetic dancing. AJ has also had the honor of performing with dance groups such as
HellaBlackLindyHop, San Francisco Jitterbugs, and the Midtown Stompers and the privilege to spread his love of dance through teaching at Lindy Hop events in the U.S., on a Carnival Cruise ship, and overseas in countries such as Denmark and Sweden. IAN HUTCHISON (Bass) Playing swing music for swing dancers is Ian's passion – he’s done it all over the world.

He has been an established teacher and performer for many years, traveling around the world to international camps and festivals, sharing his passion and knowledge. His approach to Swing dances is special because it combines the authenticity and the respect of the dances – thanks to the education he has learnt from his elders – with an originality and creativity inspired by his experience of many other art forms and with the addition of some spicy madness that characterizes Remy! What he loves to share the most is the joy that dancing provides, as well as helping people find their unique voices. As an established competitor, Remy earned many awards in Boogie Woogie, Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz. His teaching, dancing, and performing are very “tainted” by what he believes at the moment, and can be changed from one month to another, as he is not afraid of “thinking differently than the day before”!

Dee loves feeling free on the dance floor and advocates for self-expression and individual creativity as the true spirit of Lindy Hop and Vernacular Jazz.

She loves responding to the music and her partner, priding herself on making each dance unique to the musical experience and partner, creating an authentic dance conversation.

JEFFERY MILLER (Trombone) was born and raised in New Orleans by his maternal grandparents, and understands that you don’t get to where you want to be without sacrifice. Jeffery was 15 years old when he performed at Carnegie Hall with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for their 50th anniversary celebration. When jazz vanguard Wynton Marsalis hand-picked him out of high school to join him at Juilliard, Jeffery knew that he would have to leave his aging grandparents behind to chase his dream in New York. Now 26, Miller scored three GRAMMY nominations in 2019 for contributions to projects by Jon Batiste, Derek Bermel, and John Legend. Graduating from Juilliard with both his Bachelor and Master degrees (in 2018 and 2020 respectively), he’s set on a path to make his mark as a solo artist merging two musical souls. One remains deeply rooted in the melodic jazz trombone that rings closer to home, and the other in his voice echoing the sound of contemporary R&B artists like Ty Dolla $ign and Frank Ocean. Both are intertwined by a tale of two cities and the people in them who make Jeffery Miller who he is today. RACHEL PITNER (Understudy — Dancer) has been dancing all her life.

Rachel loves the personal growth and the exchange of ideas that occurs with partner dancing and the freedom and energy of Lindy Hop and the flow of solo dancing. You’ll often see her dancing to the music in her head. IMANI ROUSSELLE (Vocals) is a Texas-born vocalist with a love for interpreting and delivering the message of lyric. Whether jazz standards or contemporary compositions, her voice invites you to follow along as she fills the spaces between the silences with carefully crafted sound.

Prior to moving to NYC, Imani studied at Columbia College Chicago, where she obtained her Bachelor Degree in Voice with a double minor in Environmental Science and Management.

Teicher began their career as a founding member of Michelle Dorrance’s critically acclaimed tap dance company, Dorrance Dance, while also freelancing in contemporary dance (The Chase Brock Experience, The Bang Group), Lindy Hop (Syncopated City Dance Company), and musical theater (West Side Story International Tour and London). As a solo performer and collaborator, Teicher is known for choreographic collaborations with diverse musical talents: world-champion beatboxer Chris Celiz, composer/pianist Conrad Tao, the National Symphony Orchestra, and indie rock legends Ben Folds and Regina Spektor. In 2015, Caleb shifted their creative focus towards Caleb Teicher & Company (CT&Co), a creative home for incubating new concert dance works from Teicher’s unique perspective. CT&Co’s engagements and commissions expand across the U.S. and abroad, including The Joyce Theater, New York City Center, the Guggenheim Museum (NYC and Bilbao), Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, and Lincoln Center Out of Doors. Caleb is the recipient of a 2019 New York City Center Choreographic Fellowship, two Bessie Awards, a 2019 Harkness Promise Award, the 2020 Gross Family Prize, and a 2019 NEFA National Dance Project Production Grant. Their work has been featured by The New York Times, NPR, Forbes, Vogue, and Interview Magazine, on the cover of Dance Magazine and, most recently, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert alongside Regina Spektor.

The band’s first five albums, Introducing the Eyal Vilner Big Band, Almost Sunrise, Hanukkah, Swing Out!, and Live in Washington Square Park!, received rave reviews and made it to the Top Jazz Radio Charts of the U.S. and Canada.
