π΅ $15 per class
π 12-1:30pm: Cuddle Up Your Shag with MacGyver and Skeeter
Come take your shag to the next level with side by side hand holding and shag swing outs! Expectation is that everyone will be familiar with the basic.
π 1:30-3pm: Strengthen Community Through Solo Jazz with Justus
DID YOU KNOW: Solo Jazz isn't always about dancing alone - itβs also about sharing creativity, energy, and dancing together in a community driven way.
Start with drills to build and strengthen your timing to music and gain confidence and freedom to eventually express yourself.
Next we'll cover foundations involving Charleston and rhythm steps such as timesteps and apply the same timing drills from the beginning of class to these newer movements.
Lastly (the most crucial part of the workshop) we will form a circle and get comfortable being side-by-side, taking turns trading 8 counts with each other to music. This call-and-response energy is rooted in the lineage of swing and Black vernacular jazz traditions.
