Rhythm City Spring Swing Thing

By request: Specialized Workshops for Swing & Jazz Dancers!

Lisa Marks: focus on spins and turns for your Lindy hop and Solo Jazz. Great for working on balance, posture, and grounded connection, too. All levels.

Doug Barber: Solo Jazz Essentials for all Swing dancers. This is a great opportunity to learn/re-learn some basic Jazz steps; but more than that it’s a chance to dive into connecting with the music and finding your own expression in movement.

Lindsay Leong: Solo Jazz for experienced dancers – Improvising with Musicality & Rhythm: In this solo jazz class, we’ll explore how melody can lead the way—using it as our map to move through familiar jazz steps. Expect to challenge your movement vocab and strengthen your brain-body connection with individual and small group exercises. We’ll wrap it up with a short choreo that ties together everything you’ll learn. Come ready to groove!

Lucy Falkner & Lindsay Leong: Lindy Hop for experienced dancers – Students should have completed at least a few Intermediate sessions and/or be in the Team program. We will challenge your connection and improvisation skills with a complex combination; practice will include working your own variations and improvisations into the combination. (“Combination” = a 32-bar / 4 x 8-count sequence of moves.)

The day starts with a dance warm-up/workout with Lucy. This hour will include stretches, cardio, footwork drills, core work, and bodyweight resistance work. The first half hour is for everyone of moderate fitness; the second half hour is for those who want a challenge.
