Swing dances · with Tuballoswing
The solo dance of the Swing Era: you dance alone, watching the music instead of your partner.
Where you start
First year
The starting point. You learn to stay on the beat, to move with someone else and the basic figures: after a few classes you're dancing on the floor. No experience needed, and no partner needed.
Second year
You widen your vocabulary and work on the quality of movement and on the music. Anyone who started in January goes through the September refresher classes first.
After the two-year course
There's a third year, and it's the news of the season: a course of its own, with its own day, time and room, for those who have finished the two-year course and want to keep studying steadily. Before this year the answer was the short courses, which answer a different question. It's the step students asked for most insistently in the last survey.

And the short courses
Short programs on a single theme — two, three or four classes — outside the level program: you can take them without being enrolled in a course.
Jazz Workout
Forty-five minutes of cardio and strength work to a jazz beat, bodyweight only. No theory, no choreography to learn.
Solo Blues
The tempo slows down and you learn a Blues routine, exploring some of its basic movements and the way they can be interpreted with freedom and personality.
Hollywood Jazz · Ballin' the Jack
A lively routine full of character, to music that's hard to resist. The first part is accessible and works on rhythm, quality of movement and character; the second is more intricate and challenging.

Shim Sham History · Al & Leon
The version by Al Minns and Leon James, two legendary Savoy dancers and members of Whitey's Lindy Hoppers: it enriches the structure of the Shim Sham with variations, rhythm and character.
