Welcome to our 7th Savoy Jazz Jam, the ultimate History led Solo Jazz Weekend, right here in Hertfordshire, UK.
ABOUT:
This cosy weekend will explore the history of African American Jazz dance from African dance, plantation dances to today’s Solo Jazz, with an array of incredible, inspirational and innovative concepts to expand and improve your vocabulary of jazz movement and partner dance. There will be two days of workshops and two evenings of social dancing on Friday & Saturday with live music to practice your solo jazz and incorporate it into your Lindy Hop. There’ll also be a solo jazz competition on Saturday night. Numbers are limited to allow space and keep the event small enough to get to know to the teachers and everyone else.
LEVELS:
1) Improver – Intermediate
2) Intermediate/Advanced – Advanced
Improver – Intermediate:
You have the basic routines under your belt such as the JiveSwing Stroll, Shim Sham & Charleston Stroll – you have knowledge of the classic basic Jazz steps & are ready to push further.
Intermediate/Advanced -Advanced:
You have taken previous Jazz workshops and know lots of the key historic routines such as The Big Apple, Tranky Doo, Trickeration and more. You are ready to work hard, sweat and take your Jazz movement to the next level.
