About
Jazz Town, formerly Mob Attack Jazz Town, was started in 2023 as the significantly sleep-deprived brainchild of two of Jazz Attack's organizers, Kate & Mike. The idea was simple: Four days of live music & dancing brought to you by two of the powerhouse Lindy Hop cities of the East Coast, with social hangs abound, plus friendly inter-city competitions as the cherry on top. Yep, an old school exchange with a new twist!
Years one to three brought together over 400 dancers each, and while we're aiming to crack 500 in 2026, we're more focused on putting together something special for the residents of our two cities, plus the friends that join from afar to feel a bit of the magic.
