>> Solo Jazz II <<
Vocabulary is the first step, but how do we put it to use in social dancing?
This month’s series focuses on making choices in your solo dancing, putting together ideas on the fly, responding to the movement, and trading ideas with friends.
Lessons will include (in no particular order):
Follow the Leader (Less & Less)
Werking with What You’ve Got
Outright Theft
An Astonishing Number of Stomp-Offs
And more!
>>What's a practicum and social dance?
We DJ music just like a regular social dance. You can come out and just dance like normal, or you can come planning to work on something: Ask for feedback, work on a move, play with variations, master a routine.
>>Have a specific question?
Experienced dancers and local teachers are available at practicum to help out with sticky spots.
>> Balboa? Shag? Solo? Learning swingouts?
Let the DJ know what you're working on if you have specific music requests!
This building is physically accessible to enter. If you have accessibility concerns, please contact PLS.
