All Charleston, all the time!
Attention Level 1.5 students! We’re adding a new class to the roster that will focus on all Charleston material, as taught by the one and only Phil Bourassa.
The class will be held on Mondays at 8pm and will kick off Monday, April 4th.
Who is the class for?
Level 1.5 students are those ranging from those have completed a minimum of 8 weeks of Beginner Swing right up to more experienced dancers who would like extra Charleston practice.
Transitions (Level 1.5)
The Transitions level will help Beginner students who have completed 2 months of Level 1 to build confidence for the social dance floor and prepare for the Intermediate level. This class reinforces all of the basic steps as well as adding more sophisticated fundamentals to the repertoire. Some students find it beneficial to continue attending Level 1 for review while they are taking the Transitions class but it is not mandatory. Most students take the Transitions level for approximately 2 months, combined with social dancing practice, before moving to the next level.
In Spring 2011, there will be 2 types of Transitions 1.5 classes: Transitions in Swing which includes all types of Lindy Hop repertoire, and Transitions in Charleston which is specificallly Charleston focused. The Transitions in Swing class will still include some Charleston while the Transitions in Charleston class will be ideal for people who love Charleston, need extra practice and material for fast tempos, or are just keeners for faster music.
