Cari Meisel

Cari Meisel (she/her) got her start dancing in 2009 when she accidentally tried out for UPenn’s West Philly Swingers dance troupe. She was hooked from the first triple step, and hasn’t stopped swinging out since! After graduating, she started teaching and organizing for Lindy Hop locally in Philadelphia. In 2013, Cari moved to Boston to start graduate school, and, of course, to do more dancing. She was a founding member of Boston Lindy Hop in 2014 and remains a board member and a frequent instructor locally. Her teaching and competition experience has spanned regional and even international events (with, of course, varying results on the competition front). She loves creativity, comfortable connection, and communication in all her dances, and would be happy to talk your ear off any time about dancing, teaching ideas, scene-building, and/or ways to practice dance at home alone and not wake your neighbors.
