Sponsors and Producers:

We are currently seeking Sponsors and Producers for the Arizona Swing Jam.  Please join us by becoming a sponsor for our gala and dance workshop event.   For ten years we have presented the Arizona Swing Jam to over 500 attendees each year.  We are anticipating an even greater response this year and have moved to a large dance venue to accommodate our guests.  This event will be a great opportunity for your sponsorship. In preparation for this event we are planning an aggressive marketing campaign in order to get maximum attendance and coverage. 

Frankie Manning is a world renowned swing dancer who performed in numerous films, and entertained on stages around the world with jazz greats Ethel Waters, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Cab Calloway. In 1989, he won a Tony Award for his choreography in “Black and Blue”.  Considered the world's leading authority on the lindy, he is highlighted in Ken Burns's acclaimed documentary, Jazz.  His autobiography, “Frankie Manning: Ambassador of Lindy Hop”, was published by Temple University Press in spring 2007, released on his 93rd birthday.
