December 1, 8, 157:00-8:15 — “Lindy 104”: Charleston!
Join us for a "mini" Charleston series to wrap up the year - a 3 week series of 75 minute classes, starting from the basics and building up each week. Suggested prerequisite is some basic partnered swing.
The Charleston was one of America’s first dance crazes - sweeping nation through the 1920s and into the 30s. The dance originates with Black performers in South Carolina in the late 1800s/early 1900 and gained national popularity after being featured in a Broadway show, Runnin’ Wild, in 1923. In the late 1920s, we start to see a move called The Breakaway - an early version of the Swingout. Charleston is the parent dance of Lindy Hop and is often used in conjunction with it in partner dancing.
