-BAILEY McCULLY WORKSHOPS 12/15-

-SCHEDULE OF CLASSES-

1:00 pm – Solo Jazz: Kick Ass Charleston (1 hour)
This fabulously fun, high energy dance came out of New Orleans in the 1920’s! This class will break down the classic steps of the Charleston, work on elements of improvising with these steps, and give students a short but exciting choreography to take with them.

2:00 pm – Solo Jazz: Classy and Sassy Rhythms (1 hour)
Rhythm, music, and style are the center of this class. We will start classy by learning a vocabulary of classic jazz steps, then get sassy with the music. Students will not only learn new steps, but also new ways to use them! This class will take a rhythmic approach, using steps to make a little music as we dance.

3:30 pm – Lindy Hop Fundamentals (1.5 hours)
If Lindy Hop and swinging out is new to you, this is the perfect class! This class will start with the fundamentals of Lindy hop rhythm and build that rhythm into shapes like the swing out, lindy circles, and much more. We will focus on how to move musically, and most importantly, have fun with your partner!

5:00 pm – Level Up Your Lindy Hop (1 hour)
This class is all about taking your dancing to the next level with variations, new shapes, and polishing up what you already know. We will take a look at what it means to be a fabulous dance partner that everyone wants to dance with! Sprinkling in a little solo jazz, this class will combine both partner and solo dancing (no solo jazz experience needed).
