You will learn moves such as Suzy Q, Shorty George, Boogie Back, Boogie Forward, Fall of the Log, Tacky Annie, Cow Tail, Bees Knees, Itches etc., and you will learn how to mix them together into short solo routines.
Level Guidance
You don't need any prior dance experience to join this class. But if you have danced swing or another dance before, then that's of course an advantage.
Description Level Guidance
Solo Jazz 2 is a continuation course for those who already know the basic solo jazz moves. You will be introduced to more advanced moves and variations, as well as transitions between them. During the course you will also learn some of the popular solo jazz routines, such as Tranky Doo, Big Apple, Jitterbug Stroll etc. (different routine each round).
You need to complete Solo Jazz 1 course to be able to join this class.
