This is in the spirit of social solo dances of old and is called a “big apple” with the leader in the core or centre of the apple. This practice was turned in to a routine by Frankie Manning for the 1939 movie Keep Punchin’.

You may develop practice groups or other plans f or keeping the dance in your life!\n\nThis will be a minimally guided prac tice.

You and your co-students will bring the material to work on. RCP instr uctors will be available to help dancers find ways to use the time effecti vely.

Norma would use the routine similarly to the way tap dancers use the BS chorus\, to fill in spaces in her chore ography and as a go to for classic Jazz steps.

This is in the spirit of social solo dances of old and is called a “big apple” with t he leader in the core or centre of the apple.\n\nThis practice was turned into a routine by Frankie Manning for the 1939 movie Keep Punchin’. Lind y hoppers around the world have learned this dance and perform it for fun at evening dances.\n\n\n\n\nIn this series you will learn this routine and practice solo dancing socially with your peers.\n\nThis is for intermedia te to advanced Lindy hoppers and is not recommended as a first-time Solo J azz dance series.\n\n\n\nRe-taking Solo Jazz - The Big Apple?
