LOCATION: Dance with Joy Studios, 8051 SE 16th Ave, Portland, OR 97202 (Sellwood) This 2.5 hour workshop will introduce some wonderful vernacular jazz steps and how to integrate them into partner dancing, as well as include learning musicality, lead/follow techniques, styling and of course tons of fun! I coined the phrase Swing-copations in the 1990s, when I used to bring Chazz Young to Portland to teach workshops with me. We combined fabulous vernacular jazz steps with Lindy to create some wonderful combinations. Chazz Young is Frankie’s son, a wonderful Lindy Hop dancer, and also was one of Norma Miller’s Jazz Men - who toured with her for many years. He is a professional tap dancer and performer who is internationally known in Lindy circles. This workshop will not be divided into two different sessions. The entire workshop will build upon itself - so please plan on attending the entire workshop. I tend to share a few historical tidbits while teaching, in order to keep the history alive. I don’t do a separate story time but would be happy to address any questions you might have about the history of Lindy Hop. I am delighted to be teaching at Dance with Joy Dance Studios, in Sellwood, owned by Rachel Lidskog-Lim and Jack Lim. Rachel and I go way back to Frankie days when I used to bring him to Portland annually. This is a beautiful studio with a fabulous floor, please bring separate DANCE shoes to respect this gorgeous wooden floor! It also has wonderful mirrors, AIR CONDITIONING, and plenty of parking. It is a lovely dance studio - if you are not familiar with it, you will fall in love with this dance studio! I am so looking forward to sharing with you some of my favourite steps I used to dance with Frankie and Chazz - I hope you will join me for this very special workshop, as I now live in England and only visit occasionally. Let’s keep these wonderful steps alive!! I look forward to seeing you on June 21st! ??? - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/portland/swingcopations-with-denise-steele-an-intermediate-lindy-hop-swing-dance-workshop/200028303028725 - **Event Categories**: workshops, entertainment, dance, music, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 41 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Portland - **state**: OR - **country**: United States - **location**: Dance with Joy Studios - **lat**: 45.464866451118 - **long**: -122.64923594979 - **full address**: Dance with Joy Studios, 8051 SE 16th Ave,Portland, Oregon, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Swingcopations with Denise Steele - an Intermediate Lindy Hop Swing Dance Workshop - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/311006eeda1aabe8402cf1b2a8f3889f87233e01a2c30af263757e449e283012-rimg-w938-h1163-dc1e1b18-gmir?v=1750429456 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Swingcopations with Denise Steele - an Intermediate Lindy Hop Swing Dance Workshop being held? - **A:** Swingcopations with Denise Steele - an Intermediate Lindy Hop Swing Dance Workshop takes place on Sat, 21 Jun, 2025 at 04:30 pm to Sat, 21 Jun, 2025 at 07:15 pm at Dance with Joy Studios, 8051 SE 16th Ave,Portland, Oregon, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Swingcopations with Denise Steele - an Intermediate Lindy Hop Swing Dance Workshop ? - **A:** Swingcopations with Denise Steele - an Intermediate Lindy Hop Swing Dance Workshop is organized by Denise Steele. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
