Tyedric Hill is an American dancer, choreographer, and educator, passionate about exploring and transmitting African American dance traditions. He embodies the spirit of his ancestors, celebrating the deep roots of authentic jazz, lindy hop, tap, as well as more contemporary styles such as hip-hop, breaking, and house. Through his performances, he highlights the evolution of these social and vernacular dances while staying true to the authenticity that defines these art forms.

Tyedric is distinguished by his personal approach to dance, which he views as a way to honor Black cultural traditions, grounded in core values such as authenticity, community, hope, and dignity. He teaches and choreographs dances rooted in African American history while reimagining them to resonate with modern sensibilities. His work is a quest to demonstrate that African American dance forms—though often overshadowed by Eurocentric styles such as ballet and contemporary dance—are in fact the foundations of modern dance.

A passionate dancer and competitor, Tyedric has extensive experience on international stages, where he shares his expertise and energy with dance communities worldwide. His workshops, which weave together technique and history, are spaces for learning and celebrating social and vernacular dances.

At Winter Swingtime 2025, Tyedric will be teaching Lindy Hop and Solo Jazz.
