About Matthew Jo

I’ve been dancing West Coast Swing for 10 years and love the freedom, creativity, and connection it brings. The ability to communicate and express yourself through movement is what continues to inspire me both as a dancer and as an instructor.

As a certified instructor in the Royston Method of Swing and the Franklin Method of Body Mechanics, I focus on helping dancers build strong fundamentals while moving efficiently and naturally. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment where students can develop confidence, improve their technique, and discover their own style and expression in the dance.
