Overview

African American swing dancer who swings to almost all of your genres. I come in and dance like nobody's business for your friends or business. I dance to the fast paced tunes of swing as well as the heart pounding blues. Also authentic New Orleans secondline and footwork. Parties are what I do! I can get you ready for that first dance at your wedding to the last dance of the (link hidden)inging the energy to any crowd or that special piece to your gig/band. I like to work with live bands but I have track lists also. If need I can put a crew together. Give me a message and we'll work it out...

Amazing! Professional! Engaging!

Thank you to Swing Dat Dance team for the amazing mood-boosting finale of our Conference. They came to the event with their own sound system and really impressed our team with their dances, costumes and energy. They were very engaging and a lot of our colleagues got to experience swing dancing. Those who didn't had fun watching and taking pictures and videos.

Energy!

D and Bre have a fantastic energy that electrifies any floor they dance on. Whether performing, teaching, or just swinging out, their style is unmistakeable. Having them on the floor makes any event/party/function fun! They performed a special Sam Cooke number at my event, Monday Night Swing at the Dragon's Den, and the crowd loved it!

The BEST in town!

D and Bre are the best in town; locally famous for turning any venue into a bigger show/party. They are very popular in the swing dance community and with bands and venues on Frenchmen street. I've also been at several events where they teach lessons, including the weekly at Bamboolas on Frenchmen St. Again, one of the best lessons in town; their simple and straightforward approach gets everyone dancing and having a good time. They were hired performers at this years' Jazz and Heritage Festival and have been recognized as ambassadors for the Frankie Manning Foundation in NYC! They are super professional, very talented, kind people, and highly recommended!

About

African American dancers trying to preserve a dance that was popularized by the African American community.
D 26 is a New Orleans native and he comes with all the charisma and unkempt energy you would expect from New Orleans.
Bre 23 is the responsible one! Originally from New Jersey and a bit of Charleston,SC; Bre now calls New Orleans home. Bre is the technical genius and has been working on the dance and stylings of D and Bre. While D is the creative mind behind the combinations, comedy, and drama of the performances. They present a dynamic on the dance floor that has yet to be recreated.
Having known each other for just a year and a half D and Bre have preformed at The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival with the Doyle Cooper jazz band and The Gretna heritage festival with the New Orleans Swinging Gypsies. They are Frankie Manning Foundation ambassadors for Lindy focus dance festival and the New Orleans swing dance festival. Also performing regularly with the Swinging Gypsies. They teach a weekly class at Bamboulas on world renown Frenchman street. D and Bre have performed for schools and private functions around the city and country.
Bre specializes in step,lindy,and soul. D does second line, blues, and Charleston.
How they met is another story... Depends on who you ask D or Bre...
