Julee Mertz

Teaches at Big City Swing

Julee Mertz discovered the small Lindy Hop scene in Chicago in 1997. Instantly hooked by the music, the sense of community and the energy of the dance, her adored hobby fast became a career.

Having traveled the country to learn from the best, Julee now travels herself, teaching the dances of the swing era. Known for her dynamic styling and musicality, she has been a featured instructor at many workshops across the country and around the world.

In September of 2001, Julee was asked to join the cast of “Swing! The Original Broadway Musical” and toured nationally from Sept 2001 to February 2002. After completing the tour, she was asked to return to NYC to train the next touring cast of “Swing!”

Back in Chicago, Julee has attracted and nurtured a collective of the most talented Lindy Hop dancers and teachers in the city. The troupe teaches and performs Swing and Lindy Hop at the studio, schools, festivals, corporate and city sponsored events. Julee and members of Big City Swing have also been seen on stage and screen
