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!
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.
