*** SOLO CHARLESTON - ALL LEVELS ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
Come join Audrey to learn the solo jazz routine that she recently choreographed for Santa Swing in Santa Barbara. Solo jazz movement is a great way to improve your own personal body awareness, musicality, knowledge of musical structure, facility with weight, balance, and improvisation within your social dancing.
*** LEVEL 1 - SWING-OUT! ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
So many people ask when are we going to learn how to swing out! That is because the swing out is the basic step in 8-count Lindy Hop. This month concentrates on this basic step and other things you can do to get you on the floor, dancing to some great music with some great new friends. Absolute beginners welcome and no partner is required.
*** LEVEL 2 - 6 & 8 COUNT COCKTAIL ***
7:15 - 8:15pm
6-count Lindy Hop and 8-count Lindy Hop should be mixed up, stirred and shaken! Join Gilles and Julie to learn some great 6 & 8 count moves and how to combine them on the social floor!
*** LEVEL 3 - DECONSTRUCT - RECONSTRUCT ***
8:15 - 9:15pm
Are you stuck with a set vocabulary of moves and bored of doing them over and over again? The more we think of moves as a collection of shorter movements, the easier it gets to recreate our own. A true collaboration happens when leaders and followers work together to find creative ideas and make them feel good. In this class, Gilles and Pinar will give you tools to create your own moves and guide you through the process. We will examine how the new creations affect our bodies, leading and following the pieces and how we can make alterations. A super interactive class to get your creative juices flowing in the new year.
*** PRICING & SCHEDULE ***
7:15-8:15pm - Level 2 Lindy OR Solo Jazz ( series, drop-in)
