Customized jazz dance shows!

Dancin' Unlimited, under the artistic direction of Marilyn York, was the Washington DC metropolitan area's first jazz dance company, and has been performing continuously since 1975. Presenting "cabaret style" shows, we perform a vast repertoire of jazz dance styles, from classical concert jazz to showy Broadway pieces. Ms. York has taught, directed and produced jazz dance shows for over 30 years, and is known for her smooth, classical style.
