Peter Loggins

Peter Loggins is the foremost historian on American Jazz Dance.  Credited for bringing back many of the dances that he learned from the original dancers of the 1920's and 30's and 40's.

He brings a first hand historical approach to his classes sharing what was handed down by National Charleston champions, Harvest Moon Ball Lindy Hop winners and 1930's Swing Champions.

Peter not only travels worldwide as an instructor, lecturer, performer and competition judge but he can also be seen on video on Beverly Hills 90210, Marilyn Mansion "Mobscene" video, Royal Crown Revue's "Zip Gun Pop" video, Mulholland Drive, and the 13th Floor to name a few.

Together with his partner, Mia Goldsmith, they have become famous for their footwork, improvisation, individual approach, and style.  Their expansive knowledge of social jazz dances and the music that drove them allow students to learn the history of these dances and how they've evolved through the years.
