Kofi's bio

For Kofi, the world is just one big dance floor. He can be seen dancing up a storm wherever and whenever the music moves him - that's pretty much everywhere and all the time! He has been dancing all his life and ever since discovering partner jazz dancing, (thanks to Frankie Manning and Norma Miller’s interview on the Ken Burns PBS series “Jazz”) he's been hooked and has been lindy hopping his life away. He has travelled the world learning, social dancing, competing, judging, teaching and sharing the joy of jazz dance.

His "Taking it back to the streets" project saw him dance Norma's Trickeration, 100 days around the world to mark Norma Miller's 100th birthday. Kofi initiated his “Taking It Back to the Streets” arts project, and travelled the world performing random acts of jazz dance, across three continents, on the streets of Stockholm, Madrid, Vienna, Kampala, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Rochester, New York, Houston, Washington DC, Seattle, Los Angeles, Juneau, etc., performing classic jazz dance routines such as “The Big Apple”, “Trickeration”, “Trankie Doo”, “Stops Routine” and the “Shim Sham”.

To commemorate the 110th birthday of the Ambassador of Lindyhop, Frankie Manning, Kofi completed his #SwingoutforFrankie110 project for which for 110 consecutive days, he danced 110 of the iconic lindyhop move: the swingout, with dancers from around the world. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWSiZ9eoaqUSi7Ee82sTpPmiNrZu3jZme&si=bl-ebpYDoCZoRJMS

He teaches weekly Jazz Dance and Lindyhop classes with Dance with Alana dance school and has travelled (and continues to travel) to teach workshops in Halifax, Trois Rivières, Quebec City, Montreal, Almonte, Kingston, Edmonton, Whitehorse, and Vancouver.
