They were the choreographers for an animated jitterbug sequence in Aardman Animation’s major film release, “CHICKEN RUN”

They have taught and performed in New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Sydney, Denmark, Ireland and New Zealand. They have also taken part in the Miami Art Deco Festival and Derry Jazz Festivals.
