Jojo Jackson is a world-renowned Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Blues dance instructor. Hailing from Ithaca, NY, she has taught, competed, judged, and performed vintage jazz dances since 1998. She is an American Lindy Hop champion, an Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown champion, and has performed with teams such as Minnie's Moochers and Mad Dog.

 

Jojo is known for her high-intensity, highly creative solo Jazz and Lindy Hop classes as well as her expressive style of Slow Drag, Ballrooming, and solo Blues.  She is one of the few female instructors who is consistently hired to teach workshops throughout the United States and the world without a standing partnership-- a trait that has enabled her to partner with, at various times, over thirty of today’s finest Lindy Hop virtuosos.  Above all, Jojo loves to dance, to create, and to empower others to do the same.
