Customer Reviews
Invaluable Community Resource
I urge all swing dancers to check out this podcast.
Bobby and Chisomo cover some really important content that is critical for the dance community to think about, but they do it in such a relaxed and enjoyable way.
I always look toward to a new episode when it pops up in my queue.
Wonderfully engaging conversation on the arts!
As an avid swing dancer (for over 30 years) and a lover of jazz who happens to be white, I’m excited to listen and learn from these passionate and talented people. Good luck on your podcast journey Bobby and Chisomo!
A TRUE joy
The words and thoughts shared by the hosts, Chisomo & Bobby are kind, joyous but also REAL.
So glad to have these thoughtful discussions being shared with our social dance community.
