      The oldest, largest and BEST Hand Dance Performing Arts Troupe in the country,  Smooth & Ez  has  performed  from  Maine to Georgia  and from Virginia to California.  We have provided entertainment for private family gatherings as well as for public celebrations.  We perform Old-school, which will dazzle you with an up-beat tempo and intricate footwork.  This style tends to be nostalgic for our more seasoned  followers  while  at  the  same  time  attracting  our  youthful  crowd.  We subsequently  created  our  own  signature  style  of   Hand Dance   described  as smooth and easy.  This style demonstrates a  smoother more elegant execution of the dance which tends to let our more seasoned followers realize that they can still enjoy participating in this art form. 

      Whereas, some boast about being the best, we boast about providing you with the
BEST skill level of entertainment.  Our performances not only entertain you but also  demonstrate proper execution of this dance.  A complete performance can extend to a full  50  minutes  including  general couple dancing, trio and quadruple partnering, lifts and drops, synchronized routines, latest specialty and line dances and audience participation. 

We  have  been  honored  by  such  greats  as  Frankie Manning  and  the legendary
                                    
Norma Miller, First Lady of Swing. 

      Our  style  of  performance  and  teaching  method  have  been  so  widely received  that  we  were  solely  responsible  for  having  Hand Dance  declared  the "official"  DANCE  of  Washington, D.C.
