Intermediate Bal-Swing – 4 weeks This class picks up where the two Intro classes leave off. There is a lot of review of the material taught in the other classes with and emphasis on small footwork, strong inward connection, and dancing at a variety of tempos. Moves taught in this class include double-turns, cross-over variations, swivels, tuck turns, elbow catch, behind-the-back turns, and more!
Charleston
Intro to Partner Charleston – 4 weeks This class teaches 1920′s partner charleston in a variety of styles. This simple and versatile dance can be integrated into any of the other swing dances. You’ll learn the basics, walks, taps, touches, tuck-turns and more.
Intermediate Partner Charleston – This class picks up where the intro class leaves off. There is a lot of emphasis on fine-tuning the basics, and being able to dance them at a variety of tempos. Many variations on the basic are taught as well as the shag breaks, charleston swing-around and swingout, as well as some break-away charleston steps.
Tandem Charleston – The word tandem literally means identical parts stacked one behind the other. Tandem-Charleson is also sometimes called Back-Charleston, and includes Charleston steps where both the lead and the follow are on the same foot (R or L) at the same time. This class explores Charleston moves that have the dancers moving in tandem. Previous knowledge of Charelston basics are indeed helpful.
