We had an absolute blast performing this routine and we are so grateful to Hilary Alexander, James Bennett, Shana Worel, Brittney Caraway, Tim Woolfman, Brett Dahlenburg, Rachel Dahlenburg, Jennifer Reed, and the other people who made Camp Hollywood and this performance space possible.

A big thank you goes out to all the wonderful people in the room who celebrated movement and jazz with us live in the moment and made this performance a living breathing thing. You are the reason we wanted to work so hard to create something surprising and different. Thanks for being a part of it and giving back the same energy we put out. Performing should be a shared experience and an exchange of energy and joy. The Camp Hollywood audience delivered in spades!

Our goal was to bring some old school, Camp Hollywood energy to the stage while paying tribute to the roots of the dance and incorporating more modern body mechanics and partner dynamics. It was truly a group effort and was a reflection of many people’s voices and ideas.

It is always a privilege to represent Az and share our love for this Black art form with the wider swing dance community.

Teams are so special because we can achieve together what none of us can do alone.

Keep your eye open for announcements for next season. Big changes are coming to the Bomb Squad and PSP. We look forward to sharing more.
