Katie Cobalt (she/they)

Katie Cobalt tried many different dance styles before falling in love with Swing. The freedom of improvisation, the satisfaction of rhythm and the deep historical and Black cultural roots of the dance made her want to learn more.  

She is now known for her classroom energy, musicality, and infectious enthusiasm for all things Jazz. When it comes to dance, they deeply value self expression and fully committing to the idea. As a teacher, she focuses on individually helping her students on their own dance journeys and finds so much joy in seeing them grow.

Katie holds multiple first place titles at, International Lindy Hop Championships, Balkan Lindy Hop Championships and Savoy Cup. When not throwing down in international competitions they are teaching all over the world in more than 20 countries sharing what they have learned. When not on the dance floor you might find them in a hip hop class or on the stage at their local drag bar as Azure Thang.

Hung Jie Hsu / Jason (he/him)

“Be sassy and be jazzy!” Freedom of expression characterises Jason’s teaching and dancing! Jason will show you not only the ways you can connect to the music and express yourself through improvisation but also how to feel free to do it. That’s the main value you will get from Jason! With a background in second-language and cross-cultural pedagogy and theatre training, you will be immersed into an inclusive, safe, and playful journey into learning, not from, but along with him!

In addition to dancing worldwide, Jason is bridging his dance experience with academia. Having recently earned a Master’s degree in the Anthropology of Dance and been admitted to the Ph.D. program in dance at Taipei National University of the Arts, he is now examining cross-cultural bodily expression and movement in Lindy Hop through the lens of queer studies, while also bringing queer perspectives into the classroom.

Podcast Swing大小事｜PrideVoice. is a podcast about Lindy Hopper’s lived experiences and stories. This is a bilingual – English and Chinese – podcast, which focuses on switch dancing, dancing outside the heteronormativity, and broader LGBTQIA+ issues in the Lindy Hop global community. (Link)

Adam Brozowski (he/him)

Adam Brozowski has been dancing Lindy Hop since the age of 10, winning major international contests and teaching and performing across 6 continents in over 35 countries. Mentored by legend Norma Miller from the age of 13, Adam has performed with her at Lincoln Center alongside the Wynton Marsalis Orchestra and later created “The Global Trickeration Project” with ILHC in her honor.

A passionate advocate for LGBTQAI+ inclusion in the swing scene, Adam is known for his outspokenness and talks on queer people’s history in jazz and the Harlem Renaissance. Adam was also an early champion of open-role dancing and has continued to push for community change both on and off the dance floor.

Adam is the co-founder of Queer Swing Seattle with his husband Bradley, teaching weekly dance classes and hosting their annual pride dance party “Swung Out at the Clock Out” highlighting live swing music by historic queer artists as his alter ego Ms. Free’da Follow. Adam is tremendously honored to return to Gothenburg Queer Lindy Fest for a third time in 2026! 

Jamica Zion (they/them)

Currently living in St. Louis, but hired around the world, Jamica Zion takes pride in being a groovy solo dancer, a dynamic follow, and growing lead. Jamica aims for range, not just in connection and style, but across genres too! Since starting jazz and blues dances over 15 years ago, they’ve collected multiple titles from contests across top US events including Lindy Focus, Camp Jitterbug, Beantown, and Camp Hollywood. As a solo artist, Jamica has prioritized performance over contests and they have a diverse and abundant portfolio (check some out on YouTube)! When Jamica is not social dancing, teaching, or working on choreography, they are likely reading, playing games, gardening, napping, or relaxing with loved ones. 

Jamica’s approach towards sharing dance with others includes a critical understanding and appreciation of its history and culture, while simultaneously ushering students to build their own styles and meaningful connections to it. Jamica draws on their professional training from various social justice organizations and a long educational background which includes nearly three degrees in Sociology. This unique blend of experiences, teacher training, and knowledge allows Jamica to deliver inclusive and culturally responsible content that is creative, thought provoking, and original! In the past couple of years Jamica has been proudly collaborating on queer centered history presentations, The Queer Walk of Fame display, community discussions, classes, and event consultations with Adam Brozowski. While this isn’t Jamica’s first time promoting queer history of blues and jazz, both in and outside the dance scenes, this has quickly become one of the most impactful projects they’ve collaborated on, to date!
