Chance Bushman
Full-time, professional dancer,teacher, and entertainer.
While I have taught and performed around the world, I consider myself a social dancer first and foremost. I teach and perform regularly with five fabulous dancers: Amy Johnson, Giselle Anguizola, Laura Manning, Katherine Griffin, and Lisa Casper. I call myself a “Traditional Jazz Dancer” and am proficient in Traditional Jazz, Tap, Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, and Blues.
I perform / have performed with these great bands: Loose Marbles, Smoking Time Jazz Club, Meschiya Lake & Her Little Big Horns, Tuba Skinny, Sophie Lee, Sarah Quintana, Reggie’s Red Hot Feetwarmers, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Royal Frenchmen, and Cassidy & The Orleans Kids.

- “If you’re even luckier, the Loose Marbles will be joined by their two dancers. A tall young man who calls himself Chance moves like Olive Oyl; he and his partner Amy Johnson can jitterbug like nobody’s business. You can try to stand still while you’re watching and listening, but I wouldn’t expect much success.” -The New Yorker Online (link)
