- 22-Feb-18 - Two workshops this Saturday!
Hi all - we have two separate workshops this Saturday at The Bedford - for beginners and improvers come and master the 8-count Lindy hop steps (swing out etc and Lindy hop Charleston - the steps you need to know for our regular intermediates classes); for the more experienced you can learn the Tranky Doo jazz routine! Same venue, separate rooms.
Level: Beginner/improver
24 Feb - Workshop - Lindy hop fundamentals (beginners/improvers)
The Bedford, 77 Bedford Hill, Balham, London SW12 9HD : www.thebedford.co.uk
Lindy hop fundamentals - master the basics - Swing Out, Lindy Turn and Circle, partnered Charleston - plus essential variations.
You may take the morning session, the afternoon session or both.
With Martin and Jess (catch us at our regular Thursday night classes and dancing A-Train tonight!)
Level: Open level
24 Feb - One-day workshop - authentic jazz dance
The Bedford, 77 Bedford Hill, Balham, London SW12 9HD : www.thebedford.co.uk
The Tranky Doo is a playful and stylish solo jazz routine from the '40s. If you're confident with some of the basic solo moves, picking up routines and/or with the Shim Sham, and want to try something a little more challenging, learning this workshop is a great next step. It's also a perfect opportunity for those of you who have learnt one half of the routine and want finally to nail it!
You will expand your repertoire of jazz moves, strengthen your solo dancing technique and improve your styling. All of which will give you an extra dimension to your partner dancing as well. Improver dancers and Intermediate dancers will all get something out of this workshop.
In the first half of the workshop, we will learn the routine; in the second half, once we have finished the choreography, we will work on variations, styling and performance. It's a really fun routine to learn and to break out at social dances.
With Oli Deans (Swingland Brixton, C Jam jazz classes)
