7:00-8:15 — “Lindy 104”: Charleston!

Join us for a "mini" Charleston series to wrap up the year - a 3 week series of 75 minute classes, starting from the basics and building up each week. Suggested prerequisite is basic partnered swing.

The Charleston was one of America’s first dance crazes - sweeping nation through the 1920s and into the 30s. The dance originates with Black performers in South Carolina in the late 1800s/early 1900 and gained national popularity after being featured in a Broadway show, Runnin’ Wild, in 1923. In the late 1920s, we start to see a move called The Breakaway - an early version of the Swingout. Charleston is the parent dance of Lindy Hop and is often used in conjunction with it in partner dancing.
