Instructor Line-up
We are so excited to have Laura with us this year. Whether dancing with a partner or dancing solo, her unflagging energy and amazing movement have brought her many awards and she has taught all over the world.
Naomi's unique style and grace has won her several awards as a solo dancer as well as with a partner and she has shared her knowledge with dancers worldwide for over 20 years. She also leads her band Naomi & Her Handsome Devils.
Having taught many times with both Laura & of course Naomi, Peter will be assisting both Laura and Naomi during the partnered classes. He has won a bunch of stuff and taught for a long time!

June Jam is a weekend for lindy hoppers to grow their skills and get their dance on in Minneapolis, MN. This year's June Jam is focused on Following and on Solo Jazz.
There will be 2 tracks (Intermediate-Advanced, and Advanced Plus), with 8 hours of workshops, 3 dances, and an optional add-on solo routine class.
Due to the follower focus in our partnered classes, we are giving leaders a small discount, though we know they will get a lot out of working on their dancing from a follower's perspective. Join us June 6-8, 2025 for the very first June Jam!
Schedule
All workshops and dances will be held at the PNA Hall in Northeast Minneapolis.

There will be two levels at the event - a larger Int/Adv level and a smaller Advanced Plus level. Attendees who want to be in the higher level are welcome to attend the audition Saturday morning at 11am. We will place people in the best groups for them based on their Solo Jazz AND partnered dancing. Each student will have only 1 level for the weekend.
Both leaders and followers will take ALL of the classes, Solo Jazz and Lindy Hop. The partnered classes will focus on the follower's role but the leaders presence will be required. We think it will also be very enlightening for the leaders to hear so distinctly from the followers' perspectives, but in any case YES leaders should plan to take ALL of the classes!
