Come to a Roaring 20s Jazz Age Special Edition of Saturday Night Swing!
Learn super-popular easy-to-learn 1920s partner dances! Stay for the Dance Party!
Dressing in 1920s style attire is encouraged, but optional.
Ben Harvey and his Ornamentals are Toronto’s premiere 1920s jazz dance band. Their music swings, and is excellent for both swing dancing, and for the super popular traveling partner dances of the Jazz Age and Swing Era.
In the first lesson, learn 1920s Jazz Age Partner Charleston. This was super popular in the mid 1920s, and is done by Lindy Hoppers all around the world today.
In the second lesson, learn vernacular Jazz Age Fox Trot, One Step and Two Step. The basic of 1920s Fox Trot is just walking. It is suited for all tempos of music from slow to fast. Vernacular Fox Trot is by far the most popular partner dancing of the Jazz Age, 1930s and Swing Era. All of the Swing music from the Swing Era that we play at swing dances today is described as Fox Trot on the original records and sheet music, because that is what people mostly danced then, including to Swing music.
The dance party will have Line-of-Dance (an outside track for traveling partner dances), to accommodate both Swing dancing, and the traveling partner dancing of the Jazz Age and Swing Era.
