On Ascension Day, we'll put Boogie Woogie in focus. There will be two workshops - which is targeted for either Boogie Woogie dancers or swing dancers.
And afterwards we'll have a Boogie Woogie social dance.
Want to add more style and character to your solo jazz dancing? Join Davide for this dedicated workshop focusing on slides – one of the most visually striking elements you can add to your repertoire.
Important! It’s important that you have slippery shoes for this workshop. Ideally leather shoes with leather/slippery soles. If you show up with something that has rubber soles, then you should be ready to take off your shoes, so you can slide in your socks
This workshop takes you from the fundamentals of slide technique through to incorporating them seamlessly into your dancing. We’ll start with the basics and build up to more advanced possibilities, ensuring everyone leaves with practical skills they can use on the social dance floor.
You’ll explore how to groove with foundational steps like triple steps, kicks, and groove walks, then learn to alternate them with slides for extra flair and personality. We’ll work together on a small routine that lets you practice and refine your technique in a structured way.
