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.

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.

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.
