Phoenix’s favorite Georgia transplant, DJ Peach, fell in love with swing dance after being thrown into a class while in college. It became a way to connect movement to the music she had been introduced to and admired from an early age. Over the last seven years, she has been actively involved in the swing dance community, organizing and DJing weekly events and exchanges on both coasts, as well as hosting workshops and community events to support local DJs and encourage new talent. She loves delving into jazz collections and discovering gems to share with fellow dancers.

Ashley Cohen Conner has been dancing for a decade, focusing on Lindy Hop, Balboa, Shag (Collegiate and Carolina!), and Solo Jazz. She started DJing at local venues in 2016 and quickly learned that she loved sharing music. She particularly enjoys Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Aretha Franklin, Dinah Washington, and Dakota Staton, along with a variety of modern swing bands.

Ashley has DJ’d all over the southwest - the list includes SWINGdepenDANCE, Phoenix Lindy Exchange, BadAZ Balboa, LA Jitterbug’s Swingin’ Soul Night, Big Sky Weekend, Salt City Stomp, SwingDanceVegas, 505 Swing, Summer Swing Fest (of course), Hot Jazz Jamboree, Boise City Swings, and Breaking Bal, and LindyFest. She was also House DJ for the short-lived but widely-loved Swingin’ Soul Night in Phoenix in 2022.

Although she will be on her toes running things the entire weekend, she still wants to take time to share what she loves most - music and good vibes with her friends. Catch her sets at a late night or two!
