This special night of music and dance also includes the Jazz Crawl’s famed All-Styles Dance Battle, where talented artists from ballerinas & swing aficionados to tap and break dancers battle it out to a range of music genres to see who takes the crown, and the prize money.

How it Started

Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl began in 2012 as aspect of the Nevermore Jazz Ball & St. Louis Swing Dance Festival and under the leadership of the STL Jitterbugs.

Overtime, the Jazz Crawl has taken on a life of its own. On Cherokee Street, you’re as likely to see a roller-skating banana as a neighbor walking their dog. Its constant stream of shops, eateries, bars, and cafes makes the street a hotbed of music and art, often underground, within an already vibrant city. And beyond that, Cherokee Street is a place to just be. The annual Cherokee Street Jazz Crawl is a culmination of this, a celebration of the city’s urban music and dance scene, and simply an amazing party.

Today the Jazz Crawl is put on by Cherokee Street Foundation and organized by dance instructor, performer & musician Christian Frommelt.
