“The dance floor is my playground and music is candy for my soul!"
Debra Seeck, aka Mz Jitterbug, believes in the benefits of social dancing, no matter the genre. Debra was an experienced swing dancer and picked up the Whiskey River Jitterbug long ago in Henderson, LA. Over the years Debra has taught the dance at local venues, at dance camps, dance workshops, and festivals across the country.
Debra will be partnered by CZ’s favorite Lake Charles, LA native Cat Christ. Cat has partnered many times through the years with Deb and Seattle’s Sean Donovan at the Waterfront Blues Festival and other dance events. Cat is an experienced and accomplished zydeco, cajun and swing dancer in Portland.
The Whiskey River Jitterbug is an extension of the Cajun Jitterbug, which is similar to East Coast Swing or 6-county Lindy. It’s done in double or triple time with the exception this Jitterbug’s uniqueness includes intricate footwork while dancing on ‘a balance beam!
