Breonna Jordan
Some of Breonna’s fondest childhood memories are dancing in the kitchen with her siblings to top 40 radio. Cooking, cleaning, roadtrips – music and dance was a part of everyday life. But it wasn’t until Breonna moved to New Orleans, where she experienced her first taste of live traditional jazz music, that she realized her affinity for the living art form of jazz dance!
She has taught Lindy Hop, along with Vernacular Jazz at many different festivals and workshops in the US and in Europe. As a New Orleans based dance instructor, she teaches at the Louis Armstrong Summer Jazz Camp, sharing the connections between music, dance, history, and authentic self expression.
