$20 per week or $60 for the full 4-WeeksThis October, step into the Rhythm Time Machine as we travel through four decades of the most iconic dance in American history: the Charleston!
In this 4-week progressive series, we’ll explore how the Charleston evolved from a flapper’s delight in the 1920s, into a jazz-era staple of the 1930s, into a high-energy Swing-era favorite of the 1940s, and finally, a staple of the 1990s Swing revival. From solo steps to partnered patterns, each week will build on the last—perfect for beginners and seasoned dancers alike.SCHEDULE:
Oct 7: The 1920s Charleston - Classic Solo & Partnered Basics
Oct 14: The 1930s Charleston – Swing-Style Charleston
Oct 21: The 1940s Charleston – Tandem Charleston
Oct 28: The 1990s Charleston - Hand-to-Hand CharlestonWhether you’ve never danced a step or you’re looking to add some jazz-age flair to your swing dancing, this class will give you the foundation, history, and rhythm you need to bring the Charleston to life.
