About the event
In the Solo Jazz Class you will learn classic jazz steps, fun routines, how to play with the music, and how to put solo jazz in to your partner swing dancing.
The ticket price also includes a social dance and jazz jam session from 9:00-10:00pm. So if you can why not stay after class to practice what you've learned, get to know your classmates and maybe pick up some cool moves at the free jazz jam led by our teachers from 9:15-9:30pm.

REFUNDS:

WHAT TO BRING:
• Water bottle & spare t-shirt. It can get warm if you're dancing a lot.
• Comfortable footwear.
• A warm jumper. It can get chilly in the studio between dances.
WHAT HAPPENS AT SOCIALS:
• Ask anyone and everyone to dance. All experience levels very welcome. It's exciting to get to dance with different people each night. If someone is tired or chatting with a long lost friend they might say "no thanks" but most of the time if you ask the answer will be an enthusiastic "yes please".
• Classic routines. There are a number of dance routines such as the Shim-Sham, Tranky Do, Big Apple, Stew that were choreographed by some of the original dancers. Many people who are dancing for a while know these fun routines. Feel free to join in if you know the moves or just have fun trying to copy what the person next to you is doing.
• Jams and dance battles. These are a key part of the origins and culture of swing dancing and swing music. It's a way for community members to share moves, rhythms, inspiration, energy and to show support for one another. So if you see a circle forming on the dance floor get closer and join in.
