Information

‘SoloJazz for Beginners with 6+ weeks of LindyHop Experience’

Perhaps you’ve learned the Shim Sham and are hungry for more of the same? Perhaps you think it’s time to revisit solo jazz? Perhaps you’re just curious? Anyway: Solo jazz (also known as Authentic Jazz)  is a great and fun way to move to jazz and swing music. It also helps you grow as a Lindy hopper and makes partner dancing even more enjoyable.

In this class we will work on some of the most basic jazz steps from the swing era and put them together in short and manageable routines. Steps like

  • Suzy Q
  • Apple Jacks
  • Fall of the log
  • Eagle slide
  • Jump charleston. 

In this class you will learn basic Jazz rhythms, steps, and easily doable combinations that you can dance alone or put into your Lindy Hop.

Come and join us – bring open minds and happy feet (and a bottle of water).

We look forward to dancing with you!

Minimum level requirement

This is a class for total jazz beginners. You do not need any previous experience with solo jazz to join this class, but experience with swing or another dance is expected.

We expect you to practice during the week when possible, so that a progression can be seen and felt in your dance – so that you get the most out of our classes.

Prior dancing at Hepcats is not a requirement, we welcome all Lindy Hoppers as long as you meet the requirements outlined above.

Signing up with a partner

This a solo class so you do not need a partner to sign up.
