🌟December: Solo Jazz Series (Class #1 of 3) at Rhythms Fitness Studio
December SOLO Jazz Series: first three weeks in December 4, 11, 18 (5:30-6:30 pm, with practice till 7:00)
NOTE: this class is NOT at the usual Nevada City class location. It is hosted at a dance studio in Grass Valley. ADDRESS: 13479 Colfax Highway, Grass Valley CA
$45 for the series. $20/class drop in.
Description: You don’t need a partner for swing music to move you!
Solo vernacular jazz (also called “rooted jazz” or “authentic jazz”) grew up alongside jazz music and partnered swing dancing in the ballrooms of the 1920s and ’30s. It’s the way people moved when they were grooving on their own, and the steps they traded back and forth in jam circles. It’s not the polished studio jazz you may have seen on stage. Instead it’s playful, rhythmic, and social.
In this series, you’ll learn foundational steps, how to string them together, and how to make the moves your own. Along the way, we’ll start building a jam-circle culture right here in Nevada County: everyone dancing together in a circle, feeding off the music and each other.
Already a swing dancer? When you’re at home in your own body, your partner can feel it. New to swing? This is a great place to start! No dance experience necessary. All you need is you.
