The Swing Era: A Revolution In Swing

The Rhythm Stompers rocked the house… I hired Paolo & the Rhythm Stompers to provide two couples for a concert at Kingsborough College in Brooklyn. They danced on stage with our big band providing music, did a routine to a recorded track, acted as party starters and gave swing dance lessons. They were fantastic and the crowd adored them. They were extremely professional, arriving early and with different outfits for stage wear.
A Truly Memorable Event!….for my stepdad’s 80th birthday party, we though getting a pair of swing dancers would be a fun and appropriate surprise. We looked into several different dance companies but “Jumpin Entertainment” seemed the perfect fit. From the beginning of the hiring process, they were flexible and very communicative, always willing to answer our questions and eager to pair us with the perfect dancers for our event and they did not disappoint! The dancers they provided, Sammy and Akem were excellent! They were extremely personable and flexible and called before the party to make sure everything was set. They not only put on a fabulous show, dancing the Charleston and then the Lindy Hop, they also taught, whoever was brave enough to get up on the dance floor….!
Tremendous performance, great with guests…..
THANK YOU Paolo and Jumpin’ Entertainment for truly making my party a stand-out event. Everyone was thrilled with the performance by you and Alice, and your graciousness and good spirit with my guests was truly appreciated. I specifically wanted to hire you to show my friends and family just why I love swing dancing, and you illustrated that perfectly. The music you selected — and the dress and the routine — also flawless. Hurrah!
THANK YOU for a wonderfully entertaining weekend! As always, you were both absolutely fantastic. You had everyone up and dancing!
Thanks also for hooking us up with the LIVE MUSIC of Nick Palumbo – perfect music for the event……
We would like to extend out sincerest gratitude to you for helping to make our Midsummer Night Swing season such a success!… We received many compliments from patrons expressing how much fun they had during your lesson! It was due to your professionalism and dedication that we were able to create such a memorable evening for our audience.
Your dancers did a fantastic job…..organized and lovely to work with and the group as a whole had great energy and did a fantastic job getting the crowds going at the after party. The client was very happy. We will definitely keep you in mind for future events.
Just Great! Loved the energy & the costumes!
