Casey Schneider is a lindy hop and authentic jazz dancer, teacher, performer, and choreographer.
Casey's love of swing and jazz dance and music began in 1998. Today, she brings her experience to students both locally and nationally. Casey is known for her clear teaching style and approachability. Her students develop solid technique while appreciating the playful side of the dance. Her primary dance partner is Michael Faltesek.
Casey is an accomplished performer, spending years on Seattle's Jackson Street Lindy Hoppers. She is a founding and active member of Sister Kate, an all female performance group. Performing a tribute to the Four Congaroos at Frankie95 stands as a career highlight.
Although no longer a regular competitor, Casey's career notably includes first placements in the Camp Jitterbug Jack and Jill, Killer Diller Harvest Moon Lindy Competition, and ULHS Showcase Division. Today, Casey co-manages Savoy Swing Jam, Seattle's lindy hop competition for one and all!
Casey is also known for sharp wit and mediocre advice in the "Dear Casey" column in Seattle's lindy hop discussion forum, White Heat. She recently dove back in - join the "Dear Casey" fun on Facebook!
NEWS & NOTES: Lindy Focus was awesome! I'm staying home for a few months to work on some new ideas - thanks for the inspiration!
