​Tuesdays

Tuesdays in April

7:00 - 8:00 pm Learning the Shim Sham Choreography
8:15 - 9:15 pm Solo Charleston & Jazz Vocabulary

The Shim Sham: is a famous routine that is similar to a line dance that has roots that date back to the 1920's. We will be doing Frankie Manning's version which happens today randomly at social dances when the song 'T'aint What You Do' comes on and people 'know' to do the Shim Sham, join the club! It's also a great way to work on your dance and learn some classic moves. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cUPYkJQ29s

Charleston & Jazz Vocabulary: Charleston is also a solo dance that is often done with people dancing next to each other forming a circle. Some partnered moves are also solo moves and vis versa we will cover some Charleston and through in some Jazz so you can jam in this circle. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2y2TpgY4tw

Lindy Hop Footwork & Jazz Vocabulary: Let's really get the 6 & 8 count rhythms of Lindy Hop and some variety foot work. Many say if you can do it alone, then you are more likely to be able to do it with someone else. So let's work on our own dance. 

Blues Moves: Blues dancing is a partnered dance and also a solo dance. It is common for people to also enjoy a song or so to themselves or even have like a dance-off to a fellow dancer near by playin with ideas like Riffin and Cuttin. In this series we will learn some solo Blues Moves and find our dance in them as we become musical.
