Jon Tigert is an avid performer, instructor, and student of Lindy Hop, Charleston, and Balboa and other vernacular Jazz dances. Jon was born in Nashville, TN, and grew up a musician and soccer player. After leaving for college, he discovered classic Jazz and Lindy Hop. Since then, Jon has done everything in his power to immerse himself in the dance, it's music, and it's history. He currently lives in Indianapolis where he is slowly finishing school, but mainly dancing, teaching, and performing the dance he loves to do. Most notably, he recently won the Amateur Showdown at Midwest Lindyfest, and is the previous Collegiate Jitterbug Champion. Lastly, it is because of Jon that the "Now for Something Completely Different Jack and Jill" is now called the "Pants off Dance Off" at The Rhythm Is Jumpin'. He emphasizes having fun with dancing above all else, with a strong focus on technique and musicality.
