Jitter — celebrating the freedom to move, groove, and be alive. Somewhere between dance floor and circus ring, two performers chase rhythms, bend rules, and toss objects (sometimes each other), reveling in the joy of jazz and swing.

One foot in the past, one tapping firmly in the present, the duo plays with echoes of another era — when jazz was rebellion and swing floors were spaces of freedom — and asks the questions anew: Who leads? Who follows? Who decides? Perhaps the music does. Perhaps no one does.

Less a show to watch than a groove to catch, Jitter invites audiences to feel the pulse in their own bones. Blending Lindy Hop, acrobatics, object play, and wit, the performance can expand into a swing workshop or a full Lindy Hop evening. Wherever it travels, it does so eco-lightly — by train, by bicycle, and always with rhythm in tow.
