Evita Arce is a Swing dance star, known internationally for her endless energy, high-flying aerials, and dynamic jazz movement. Whether she’s on stage or leading a class, her vibrant persona inspires on-lookers to dance and live in the moment.
Evita played the feature Lindy Hop role in the Broadway musical “SWING!” on the 2008 Japan tour, at The California Music Circus, and at The Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. Evita also choreographed and danced for Wynton Marsalis and The Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra at The Kennedy Center in DC celebrating MLK and President Obama’s inauguration. Television appearances have popped up frequently since Evita, with partner Michael Jagger, advanced to finals in Las Vegas on FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance–the only Lindy Hop couple to do so. Evita choreographed for the NY Times Square production, “Sleigh Bells Swing,” with George Gee’s Orchestra at the Edision Ballroom.
Other exciting performances have included The Edinborough Jazz Festival in Scotland with Ryan Francois’ company Swing Extreme, The Rudolstadt Festival in Germany with the Vanaver Caravan, a Latin and Ballroom series with Tango y Mas, and numerous shows at top venues in New York City including the Rose Theater, The Rainbow Room, The Waldorf Astoria, The Gramercy National Arts Club and The Plaza at Lincoln Center.
