Title
Big City Swing - Swing Dancing in Chicago and Beyond
Description
Julee Mertz has been dancing since she could walk and has been teaching and performing for over 15 years. After hanging up the toe and tap shoes, she discovered the small Lindy Hop scene in Chicago in 1997. Instantly hooked by the music, the sense of community and the energy of the dance, her adored hobby fast became a full time job.
Having traveled the country to learn from the best, Julee now travels herself, teaching Swing, Lindy Hop and Blues dancing. Known for her dynamic styling and musicality, she has been a featured instructor at many workshops across the country.
In September of 2001, Julee was asked to join the cast of Swing, The Original Broadway Musical and toured nationally from Sept 2001 to February 2002. After completing the tour, she was asked to return to NYC to train the next touring cast of Swing!
