In this 5 week course you will learn several authentic, vernacular Jazz steps which can be used while social dancing. The class is rooted in Lindy Hop, a specific style of Swing dancing from the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, NYC. A wonderfully common characteristic of the Lindy Hop was to have "Breakaways" where the partnership released hands and danced independently, yet still in sync. The solo Jazz steps were pulsing, rhythmic and allowed the dance to beautifully expand in exuberance. It is strongly recommended that you have a good foundation in Swing dancing and Lindy Hop prior to taking this class.
This class is an Intermediate level. No partner is required.
