About Us

Background: Jim Cruzen and Margie Adams .

With more than 25 years of dance experience to draw on, their true love is teaching social dance. They are versed in all forms of swing, social ballroom, salsa, night club 2 step and country 2 step with additional background in performance jazz, tap, ballet and folk dancing.

Their specialty LINDY HOP…the swing dance that started it all! Combining their dance knowledge of motion study with their love of jazz, they have developed a highly musical & creative style all their own. Having taught since 2000 around the US from Florida to Texas to Chicago and more, they inspire, entertain and share their passion with great patience. More recently they took their love of teaching to Europe for a three month swing teaching tour in 2003, and are now requested swing dance teachers on an international level. Their partner dance philosophy: No matter which dance ....It takes 2toGroove! Make it a great musical marriage where support and expression are freely shared… & the songs will never be long enough!

Jim & Margie are based in San Diego and have been dance partners since 1999. They own and operate 2toGroove Dance offering lessons in all forms of swing, ballroom, salsa and more in both San Diego and North County. In addition, they produce local swing dance events under the name “All Things Swing” providing a friendly, supportive social dance environment for all ages. They also love to inspire and bring smiles to their audiences with their fun-loving performances. Their most recent endeavor ...co-producing and dancing in a new variety dance show (new performance company website coming soon).

They enjoy supporting local arts education and fundraising efforts and have provided all or partially donated services for the Classics4kids program, KidsKorp and presentations for local SD elementary and high schools students . In 2001 they organized and ran the only San Diego “swing dance” fundraiser for the 9/11 firefighters fund...the Halloween Monster Swing Jam.
