Charleston

Please note that the class was postponed we'll be starting on Thursday the 21st.

I'm going to be teaching a solo Charleston class for Jungle Swing on Thursday nights starting February 14th. 8:00pm-9:15pm at 7th Avenue Studios.

More information on the Jungles Swing website.

I'm looking forward to this class! I love dancing with a partner but sometimes dancing without being attached to anyone is what I'm feeling. Solo dancing also helps you gain awareness of your own movement and challenges your creativity.

We're going to be starting from the very basics of the Charleston vocabulary; no solo dance experience is expected.

there's my plug,
