Meet Our Swing Dance Instructors!
We’re lucky to have wonderful local dancers to teach lessons and organize events! Please contact us or inquire with them directly if you are interested in private lessons.
Michael Jacobson
Michael has been living in Flagstaff since 2015 and has been dancing all that time. Starting out as a regular at NAU’s Swing Jacks, Michael eventually moved on to become one of a few coaches for that club after graduation. Since moving away from the Swing Jacks, Michael has been a regular instructor for Rhythm and Roots.
Kailyn Woodie-Jacobson
Kailyn started swing dancing in September 2019. She began teaching in 2020 and has continued to hone her skills ever since. Her favorite dance styles are Lindy Hop, East Coast, and Charleston.

Jeremy has been lindy-hopping since 2012. Mainly self-taught, he became a Flagstaff-local dance instructor in 2023. While lindy hop will always be his passion, he has recently begun to delve into the world of balboa, salsa and bachata as well!
