Jodi Fleischman's Profile

Known for her warm and playful teaching style, Jodi loves sharing her passion for all things dance (over 17 years now!). Schooled in African dance, Jodi became a Pacific Northwest Grand Champion Lindy Hopper, studied Salsa in New York, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico and Cuba, and she also finds great joy in dancing and teaching Waltz and Nightclub Two-step. Jodi has taught a variety of dance in locales as diverse as Stanford, Argentina, Sweden and the Caribbean, and she is employed by several Seattle dance organizations as well as leading her own company, Left Foot Boogie. She has partnered David Dalmo and Lennart Westerland (Sweden’s Rhythm Hot Shots) and, to her unending delight, she has had the great honor to teach and perform with, on numerous occasions and at his request, the legendary Frankie Manning. Above all, what matters most to Jodi is the heart, the music and the connection with another on the dance floor.
