On June 30th, Jojo of girl jam fame will be in Ann Arbor to rawk your sawks awf!! There will be a mini girl jam workshop right here! In our state!

LADIES! You do not want to miss this event! Jojo is a nationally renowned instructor and she's going to put a spring in your step and light a fire under your... um... feet. Yeah. Maybe I should post an excerpt from her bio instead of being dumb...

She is an American Lindy Hop champion, a four-time Ultimate Lindy Hop Showdown champion, and has performed with teams such as Minnie's Moochers and Mad Dog. Jojo's dancing is dynamic, tends to defy gravity, and her mom thinks she's quite a catch.
rawr... check out those credentials! (I said CREDENTIALS) In case you had any doubt that you should come to this event; here's a video of Jojo Jackson and Sharon Davis. SO HOTT.

NOTE: This is a workshop for intermediate and advanced follows. At a minimum, you should be able to follow basic lindy hop moves such as the swing out from open and closed and the lindy circle.
