HIRING THE HANG TEN HOPPERS

Thank you for your interest in San Diego's premier Swing Dance performance team, The Hang Ten Hoppers!

​

This dance group prides itself on showcasing the Swing Era dances of the 1920s-1950s including Charleston, Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate Shag, and Vernacular Jazz Routines. We will be sure to make your event a stunning success that attendees will certainly talk about!  Here are just a few of the fantastic services we offer:

​

  • Exciting choreographed performances  to a live band or DJ'd music
      1920s:  Charleston dressed flapper girls & dapper gents will give a glitzy & glamorous Great Gatsby feel to your event
      1930s/1940s:  Get ready to be transported back to the Big Band Era with vintage dresses and/or military inspired costumes
      1950s:  We'll have your guests "rockin' around the clock" with our energetic Jitterbug moves, poodle skirts & pompadours
      1960s - current:  We don't specialize in these decades but contact us with what you're looking for 

  • Social dance demonstration
      If you just want some background dancers or are looking for something fun (and less expensive than a choreographed routine) we've got you covered

  • "Taxi Dancing"
      This is a great way to really get your party started!  We will interact with your guests and even ask them to dance to get everyone up and movin'

  • Dance lesson
      A fun beginner lesson before the music starts can be a great addition to help your guests feel more comfortable bustin' a move on the dance floor
      The lesson can be tailored to fit the theme/decade of your event
