- TAP DANCE SEATTLE PRESENTS:
- Hep Cat's Dictionary w/Kevin Buster.
- You wanna get hep. This class is for you. This class will focus on the lively American vernacular jazz dance styles that where done without a partner. IT IS NOT A TAP CLASS. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED. The music that we will focus on will be swing, hot jazz, Charleston and boogie woogie. We will keep it in the style of Harlem, New Orleans, and Chicago in the 1920'...s, 30's, and 40's.
- No matter if it is improvised or choreographed it is rhythmical and playful. It is a dance full of character and you get to add a bit of your personality to make it complete. Jazz steps are the foundation of routines like the Big Apple, Trunkey Doo, and Shim Sham Shimmy with traditional steps like Charleston, Suzy-Q, Shorty George, and Camel Walk. You may notice that a lot of this movement is inspired by or taken from tap dancing movements but has no tapping so you get to work on the rest of your body that you may have forgotten about when those rhythms start getting complex. In this class we will try to keep you moving while building on the foundation of technic in each movement. We will also do some core workouts and stretching.
- Some of the skill that will be mixed in will be musicality, using your whole body, moving with a group, level changes, taking movement across the floor. strength and balance, finding the movement in your own movement style. Having fun and dancing without thinking about it. By the end of the class you want to let go and find yourself doing steps you didn't know you had in you.
- This class will occur every Monday from 6-7pm. From July 11th until August 15th. Bring a towel I will make you sweat!
