Learn useful new ways to think about the dance, and expand your knowledge base and options for how to execute great and comfortable swingouts for both your leaders and your followers! This class focuses mostly on counts 4,5,& 6 of the swingout, and also deals with what the follow can do creatively when that happens!

Idalia is back to teach this month at Wednesday night hop!! She is super excited to work with Kevin and have this special class. They will help you explore how we connect with each other, and how we know where we are and where we are going. In this connection / flow / clarity class, leaders and follows will alternate being blindfolded!! It is so much fun! Are you up for the challenge?

*** ELECTIVE: Solo Jazz w/ Gaby ***
Dive into solo jazz dance! This month, Gaby Cook will be teaching solo jazz as an elective at Wednesday Night Hop. This class is all levels and will cater to both new and seasoned jazz dancers. Each week, we will break down classic jazz moves such as the Susie Q's, Apple Jacks, half breaks and more. We'll cover concepts on musicality, and dance technique. We will also do dance exercises, and techniques that will improve body isolations and turn patterns, body awareness, posture and continuity of motion. Throughout the four weeks, we will build up a short solo dance choreography, fit to perform for the Wednesday night dance.
Join in on the fun. Suitable for all levels.
