Re: Falty Philly Invasion - Philadelphia, PA
Class descriptions are now posted!!!!
This is a weekend that you will not want to miss!!!!
Saturday 9/25/2010
1. Jazz Routine: Mama's Stew- What can we say? This is a mysterious class.
2. Tap Dance: One Man Dance- Learn the Five Blazers' classic soft shoe tap routine. It's straightforward and easy to learn for those with no tap experience and includes interesting rhythms for those already with tap experience.
3. Black Bottom- The Black Bottom originated in New Orleans in the 1900s. The dance became a sensation and overtook the popularity of the Charleston, eventually becoming the number one social dance. This short black bottom choreography will help you add some of that traditional flare to your styling.
4. Slow Jazz Routine: What's a Mellow Dicty?- Everything's ok the live long day, with this mellow song I can't go wrong. Learn some chill solo jazz choreography that will inspire you to work on solo movement to all tempos.
Sunday 9/26/2010
1. Old Time Partner Charleston- Learn how to dance Charleston like they did in the 1920's. This is the dance that set the stage for Lindy Hop and is a MUST to help you understand where Lindy Hop came from. AND Charleston is a lot of fun!
2. Jazz Me Lindy- Incorporating jazz steps into your lindy hop.
3. Footwork Variations- For Mike, rhythms drive the footwork and "tell your feet what to do." He'll give you a glimpse into how he thinks about footwork, providing you some specific patterns to challenge you!
4. Intro to Slow Dancing- Blues dancing this and blues dancing that- it seems like it's all anyone ever hears about these days! Mike takes a more traditional approach to dancing to not just blues, but any down-tempo music, calling it exactly what the old-timers still call it- slow dancing.
