"Jordan's styling
workshop in Portland, OR was very beneficial for leads AND follows.
He focused on listening to the music and learning to dance TO the music.
I found his concept of sometimes slowing down your steps to be very
helpful in adding variety to my leading. That night at the Crystal Ballroom,
I noticed many of the leads who had taken the workshop had really benefited.
You could see almost instant results! I saw more creativity and fun
in their leading styles. They took what they had learned from Jordan
and all adapted it to their own specific style of leading." Shaun, co-producer
of event
"Jordan, I just wanted to say that recently saw a video of you teaching
a styling workshop in Portland and thoroughly enjoyed it. I am a lindy
hopper from Minneapolis who is planning to move to the San Francisco
area in the early spring hopefully. it is great to see such playful
friendly dancers like yourself and other from there. makes me very excited
to be a part of your wonderful dance community out there. Take it easy."
Jesse
"Thanks for the new lindy classes, venues, and good energy!" John Hoffman
"Good luck and I really hope this works out for you. I'm inspired by
your commitment. We're all in this for the same reason. The love of
the dance." --Nathan eSwing.com

"Hey Jordan, Congrats, you are a star. Saw you on TV last night. Very
impressive." Lactancio Figueiredo De Souza
"Jordan is a regular local Hopper who's dancing has the personality
of Gene Kelly and the Muppets combined. I think this is Jordan's first
foray into large scale teaching. I think his humility and good humor
will serve him well." Eric H.
"Just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who came
out to see us when we were in town. You guys really made us feel important.
The whole band had a great time, and with out your support it would
not have been such a great night. It was nice meeting all of you San
Fran Dancers, keep in touch and please write!" Dave, guitarist, The
Rhythm Rockets

"The Swing Rave was awesome. The Contra dancers do all night dances
at the Portuguese hall in Santa Cruz, I've been thinking that a Swing
Rave there might be excellent." Larry Colen
