Levels

STRONG SOLO JAZZ FOR LINDY HOP DANCERS — OPEN+

Ready to take your Lindy Hop to the next level? This class is all about building a stronger, more confident solo jazz vocabulary that you can bring straight back to the social dance floor.

We’ll work on rhythm, musicality, body control, footwork and personal expression, with exercises and combinations inspired by classic Jazz and Swing.

Expect energetic movement, challenging variations and plenty of ideas to make your Lindy Hop more dynamic and expressive. You’ll also learn how to use solo jazz movements in your partner dancing, from variations and breaks to musical accents and improvisation.

Level: Open+ — you should already have a solid Lindy Hop background and feel comfortable dancing at different tempos.

SOLO JAZZ – INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED LEVEL LAURA

Ready to dive deeper into Solo Jazz? This class is for dancers who already have some experience with Solo Jazz and want to expand their vocabulary, improve their musicality and move with more confidence and freedom.

We’ll explore classic Jazz steps, variations and combinations, while playing with rhythm, coordination, body control, dynamics and musical expression. Expect some challenges, but also plenty of room to adapt the movements to your own level and experience.

We’ll go beyond simply learning sequences: we’ll look at how to play with the music, add your own flavour and bring Solo Jazz ideas into your Lindy Hop and social dancing.

Level: Intermediate to Advanced — you should already feel comfortable with the basics of Solo Jazz and be ready to explore more challenging material.

LATIN GROOVES – OPEN LEVEL

A class exploring the Afro-Caribbean rhythmic traditions at the roots of Jazz — their contrasts, their similarities, and the ways they speak to each other. We work on recognizing the inherent elements of those traditions already living inside Jazz, and learning to layer and bring them to the surface in your dancing.

LINDY HOP - ADVANCED LEVEL LAURA & FELIPE

Your life is a mix of parties, classes and workshops. You are a confident leader and follower and you can improvise to fast music. Your own dance style and personality shine through which makes the difference for a more personal musicality and mood expression.
You master the different skills needed in Lindy Hop in either slow or fast tempos.
