SOLO AUTHENTIC JAZZ: SWING DANCE WITH CHARLOTTE LIEBENOW
September 11–December 18, 2023.
Open class for all. You can join this class weekly. 14 classes, each 60 minutes.
Download (PDF): Registration Form
Content: The Authentic Solo Jazz course is offered for beginners and experienced dancers to dive into the world of swing dance together. In this course we will learn the roots of the dance, gain an understanding of the music, and find out how and what makes us move to swing jazz music.
This swing dance style is danced without a partner, but is very helpful in improving footwork for other partner dances that are equally part of the swing world (e.g. Charleston, Balboa, Lindy Hop).
We will become more familiar with various vintage routines such as the "Shim Sham". So we can start to improvise to new steps and rhythms by ourselves.
Timetable: Monday, 7:00–8:00 p.m. (60 minutes)
Dates:
September 11, 18, 25
October 9, 16, 23, 30

December: 4, 11, 18
Tuition fee:
Trial class on Sept 11th free of charge.
14 classes: 195,00 EUR (each 60 minutes including the trial class)
1 x 60 minutes: 20,00 EUR
Material: You don't need to buy new shoes. Please bring an extra pair of comfortable shoes with a sole that is not too slippery, does not stain black and without heels.
Conditions of participation: Participation without pre-registration not possible. No refunds of course fees will be made if the participant cannot come to the booked course. Subject to alterations.
