About the Instructors
Chad Kubo is the original Ambassador of Swing in San Francisco. He has been dancing lindy hop since 1994, and has performed and taught workshops in the United States and abroad, including SF Frankie Manning Workshops, and at events featuring jazz legends Lionel Hampton and Wynton Marsalis. He is the co-founder of San Francisco’s Lindy in the Park, and for many years taught at and ran The Doghouse, SF’s premier Saturday dance party. Drawing on his 30+ years of martial arts experience (black belts in aikido, judo, and karate), as well as a background in gymnastics, Chad emphasizes movement and body dynamics in his lindy classes, such as Zen and the Art of Lindy Hop, Creativity and Musicality, Aerials, Stealing and Switching Partners, Jazz Movement, and Floor Craft.Â
Â
Daktari Shari originally learned to swing and lindy hop in Washington, D.C. before her move to San Francisco. Bouncy, playful, powerful and always smiling on the dance floor, Daktari Shari is a joy to watch. She is particularly interested in teaching students how to use their own breathing to connect with the music and rhythm, as well as exploring African dance movement and its connection to the roots of Lindy Hop.
