TEACHERS
DETAILS
Learn 1920s vernacular Foxtrot, which is mostly a form of One Step, and was by far the most popular dance of the 1920s. Easy-to-learn, vernacular, suitable for tempos from slow to fast. Relaxed, playful, improvisational. The fundamental step is just walking.
Perfect for experienced dancers and those new to dance because it is fun, easily learned, and has lots of possibilities. Learn some of the wonderful vernacular dancing of the Jazz Age!
While we will focus on the 1920s, we will also do at least a little bit of Ragtime (1910-1914) style One Step. We will cover a lot of ground in this short course.
In the 1920s "everyone danced," and One Step vernacular Foxtrot is what they mostly did.
This course is two weeks long, 7pm to 8:20pm each week. Tuesdays April 4 & 11.
