Solo jazz (also called ‘vernacular jazz’) is all about having fun dancing by yourself and with others to swing music, but without a physical partner connection. Solo jazz can give dancers the confidence to dance swing both partnered and solo on the dance floor- and anywhere! As we tune in to jazz music of the 20s, 30s, and 40s, we’ll explore the building blocks of solo dancing such as rhythms and classic moves that you can use as inspiration. No previous dance experience is necessary, but if you know some Lindy Hop you’ll definitely bounce right in.
