Learn the Big Apple
ClasseS
Learn one of the most iconic and celebrated solo jazz routines in the history of swing dancing...The Big Apple! Choreographed by Frankie Manning and The Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and still danced in lindy hop communities all over the world.
The routine is exhilarating to dance, full of classic jazz steps and amazing rhythms.
Miya and Shob will teach the routine from scratch over 2 sessions..exploring the classic choreography but also allowing you a chance to play with different options for individual expression and stylings.
These workshops are aimed at dancers with some basic solo jazz skills under their belt and keen for a challenge!
Session 1 Sat Oct 17 10:30-1pm..."From the start up to the bridge"
Session 2 Sat Oct 24 10:30-1pm..."Take it from the bridge to the end and put it all together"
We will have an opportunity to dance the routine at our live swing night on Sat Oct 24th so you can put your learning straight into action! And you will be ready to bust out the routine at MLX!
