Hit That Jive Productions

A Non-Profit Arts Organization

Our organization gathers in Amiskwaciwâskahikan, known colonially as Edmonton, Alberta. This land is the traditional territory of many Indigenous People, the First Nations of Treaty 6, and the Metis of Districts 9 and 10.

This land has thousands of years of history, storytelling, and oral traditions. In the spirit of the treaty and its oral agreements we are all meant to share this land and are all treaty people.

Hit That Jive is excited to present the Comp & Show Intensive on May 2nd, 2015! 

We are thrilled to welcome the talented Phil Bourassa from Toronto to teach with our very own Julie Kiraly. In this intensive they will focus on competition and show topics for partnered Lindy Hop, including advanced-level technique, cool tricks, and more. We are also excited to offer a Solo Jazz class, taught by the amazing Turlough Myers! And two elective classes: Air Steps and Cane Tricks!

The weekend will include a Friday night kick-off dance, classes all day Saturday, and a competition for workshop attendees at the Saturday evening dance!
