LIVE At Eastside Stomp, by The Spirit Of Kansas City Meets Chicago 11/05/2021

tl;dr JONATHAN DOYLE HAS A NEW CD OUT!!!

What an honor! After years of hosting live music every week at Eastside Stomp, we were able to record one AMAZING band on a Friday night in January, 2019. We didn't have plans to release the recordings of that particular night - we were just experimenting with the gear. But thanks to the efforts of Kaleb, Matthew, and Keith, and of course the ridiculous fire that the band put out that first night of Emerald City Solo Jam, the recordings came out great! Then we asked one of our own dance family, Emma, to create some meaningful art from Sereina's pictures of the dancers that brought so much energy to that night.

So here we are, waiting for the chance to reopen the venue, and over-the-moon excited to be able to share this magic album from Jonathan Doyle and the Spirit of Kansas City meets Chicago LIVE at Eastside Stomp! Check it out, share it around, and we'll be bringing dancers and musicians back together as soon as we can possibly make it happen!

Our Story

Eastside Stomp, presented by the Syncopation Foundation, is a collective of swing dance teachers and enthusiasts based on the Eastside of the Greater Seattle area. We are dedicated to teaching, performing, preserving, evolving and promoting the many vintage-based forms of swing dance, as well as the music and style of the Swing Era.

We specialize in Lindy Hop, Balboa, Collegiate S**g, Tap Dance and Charleston. We believe strongly in social dancing as the basis and reason for everything we teach in our lessons. For the staff of Eastside Stomp, swing dancing is about more than flashy moves and steps (although we certainly teach those…), but rather about good connection, great lead and follow skills, and above all else, having ridiculous amounts of fun.

We offer monthly series classes in Lindy Hop, Balboa, Charleston, and Solo Jazz dance, host weekly dances featuring live swing music, travel to teach swing workshops, and give private lessons. Details on all these things are scattered around the website at www.eastsidestomp.com, so feel free to check it all out and drop us a line if you have any questions!
