Jammin' Freddie D
Fred Price – “I love to dance but I enjoy playing music even more”. My wife, Tina, doesn’t like to hear me say that- but it’s true. It’s a challenge for me to keep the dancers on the floor (usually to the wee hours of the morning) using mixes of swing tempos. I like to mix contemporary swing and classic blues and great smoothies with an occasional cha, hustle or night-club 2 or even a country two-step or waltz mixed in to keep it interesting.

Tim 'DJ TJ' Johnson
Being very impressed with the music played at the first couple of dance events I attended, I wanted to share the experience with my local dance friends. Since 1998 I've been hosting dances and working to grow the dance community. It has been my honor to serve as a DJ at Spring Swing, C.A.S.H. Bash, Indy Swing Classic, Motown Dance Championships, Motor City Jam, Michigan Dance Classic, and the American Open. Tim's Web Site
