Dance Teacher

Shorty George is one crazy dance cactus. When he started swing dancing in New York City in 2004, he forgot that he needed water to survive. While dehydrating himself, he enjoyed making his partner smile, as well as dancers around him.

Since 2004, he’s rocked out as a Swing Dancer, dancing the styles of Lindy Hop, Blues, and Balboa. He has professionally taught since 2008 around the globe from Taiwan, Denmark, Turkey, Iceland, Spain, Italy and many other countries. George taught Lindy, Balboa, Blues and Authentic Jazz Workshops and brought great energy, humor, and entertainment to the classes while teaching some useful techniques to improve people’s dancing, such as musicality, partner connection, feeling, character, and improvisation.

George has also created new community social dances in Amsterdam (2008), Iceland (2009), & Turkey (2011) that still continue on to this day.
