Debra Seeck, aka Mz Jitterbug, an experienced swing dancer, learned the Whiskey River Jitterbug in Henderson, LA. Debra has taught the dance at local venues, at dance camps, dance workshops, and festivals across the country.

The Whiskey River Jitterbug is an extension of the Cajun Jitterbug, similar to East Coast Swing or 6-county Lindy, done in double or triple time. Get the basics in this hour. Whiskey River Jitterbug is known for fun, challenging, and intricate footwork

Partnering with Debra will be Cat Christ, a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana and an accomplished dancer in many genres. She has co-taught at the Waterfront Blues Festival and other special events.
