SUMMARY:Lesson: Beginner Swing w 4 x World Champion Yuval Hod & Gypsy Juls
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basic dance steps of Swing/Lindy Hop with 4 x World Champion Yuval Hod & Gypsy Juls\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nYUVAL HOD \n\n \nGYPSY JULS \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE\n \nLindy Hop is an American dance born in the African-American communities of Harlem\, New York City\, in 1928 and has evolved since then. It was very popular during the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy is a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz\, tap\, breakaway\, and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family. \n \nIn its development\, the Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of African-American dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances – most clearly illustrated in the Lindy’s defining move\, the swingout. In this step’s open position\, each dancer is generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position\, leads and follows are connected as though in an embrace on one side and holding hands on the other. \nThere was renewed interest in the dance in the 1980s from American\, Swedish\, and British dancers and the Lindy Hop is now represented by dancers and loosely affiliated grass-roots organizations in North America\, South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Oceania. \nLindy Hop today is danced as a social dance\, as a competitive dance\, as a performance dance\, and in classes\, workshops\, and camps. Partners may dance alone or together\, with improvisation a central part of social dancing and many performance and competition pieces. \nLindy Hop is sometimes referred to as a street dance\, referring to its improvisational and social nature. In 1932\, twelve-year-old Norma Miller did the Lindy Hop outside the Savoy Ballroom with her friends for tips. In 1935\, 15\,000 people danced on Bradhurst Avenue for the second of a dance series held by the Parks Department. Between 147th and 148th street\, Harlem “threw itself into the Lindy Hop with abandon” as Sugar Hill residents watched from the bluffs along Edgecombe Avenue.1\n[1 Wikipedia] \nPut a swing in your step during Art Deco Weekend! \n\n* In addition to this class\, don’t miss the mini-lessons and entertainment between jazz band breaks! \n\nGet ready before the weekend— watch ADW’s 2021 online dance classes for free

SUMMARY:Lesson: Balboa Taster with Dance Champs Minn Vo & Lily Matini
DESCRIPTION:[Due to weather\, this event has been relocated to the Art Deco Welcome Center\, 1001 Ocean Drive]\nGet a taster and history of Balboa with Dance Champions Minn Vo & Lily Matini!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nMINN VO \n\n\n \nLILY MATINI \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE STYLE \nBalboa\, also known as “Bal” is a swing dance that originated in Southern California during the 1920s and enjoyed huge popularity during the 1930s and 1940s. An 8-count danced in closed position\, the earliest form (often called “Pure Balboa”) evolved in the mostly conservative dance halls of southern California where space was limited and strict codes of conduct were enforced. These dance halls usually prohibited the wild kicks of the Charleston and Lindy Hop. Pure Balboa is characterized by an upright posture with partners standing chest to chest. Step variations generally play with the rhythm or look and feel (style) from below the knee downwards and deal with changes in direction. Balboa is frequently danced to fast jazz (usually anything from 180 to 320 BPM)\, though many like a slower (170-190 BPM) tempo. While most dancers differentiate between pure Balboa and Bal-Swing\, both are considered to be a part of the dance. Bal-Swing evolved from Balboa when original Balboa dancers experimented with fancier variations of the dance which forced the chest to chest connection to be broken. In this form of Balboa a variety of spins\, turns\, dips\, tricks\, and even air steps are introduced.1\n[1 Wikipedia] \n \n\n* In addition to this class\, don’t miss the mini-lessons and entertainment between jazz band breaks! \n\nThe lesson will be held at the Jazz Age Stage on Lummus Park & 12th Street from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

SUMMARY:Lesson: 30s & 40s Charleston w 4 x World Champs Nathalie & Yuval
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basic dance steps of 30’s & 40’s Charleston with 4 x World Champions Nathalie Gomes Adams & Yuval Hod!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n  \n \nNATHALIE GOMES ADAMS \n\n \nYUVAL HOD \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE\n \nWhile the 20’s Charleston involved “kicking up your heels\,” as was popular in that era\, the trend subsided after 1930. Fashion could have played a part in that\, where legs were more constricted with floor-level dresses. It wasn’t until the late thirties where the dress hemline rose. \nA slightly different form of Charleston became popular in the 1930s and 1940s\, and is associated with Lindy Hop. In this later form\, the hot jazz timing of the ’20s Charleston was adapted to suit swing jazz music. This style of Charleston has many common names\, including Lindy Charleston\, Savoy Charleston\, ’30s or ’40s Charleston\, and Swinging Charleston\, and its basic step takes eight counts and is danced either alone or with a partner. Frankie Manning and other Savoy dancers saw themselves as doing Charleston steps within the Lindy rather than dancing the Charleston itself.1 \nToday Charleston is an important dance in Lindy Hop dance culture\, danced in many permutations: alone (solo)\, with a partner\, or in groups of couples or solo dancers. The basic step allows for a vast range of variations and improvisation. Both the 20s and Swinging Charleston styles are popular today\, though swinging Charleston is more commonly integrated into Lindy Hop dancing. \n[ 1 Definition pulled from Wikipedia] \nPut a hop in your step during Art Deco Weekend! \n \n\n* In addition to this class\, don’t miss the mini-lessons and entertainment between jazz band breaks! \n\nGet ready before the weekend— watch ADW’s 2021 online dance classes for free! \n\nThe lesson will be held at the Jazz Age Stage on Lummus Park & 12th Street from 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

It belongs to the swing family of American vernacular dances that arose in the 1920s and 30s. It is believed that the dance originated within the African American community of the Carolinas in the 1920s\, later spreading across the United States during the 1930s. The shag is still danced today by swing dance enthusiasts worldwide.\n[Defenition pulled from Wikipedia] \nBalboa\, also known as “Bal” is a swing dance that originated in Southern California during the 1920s and enjoyed huge popularity during the 1930s and 1940s. An 8-count danced in closed position\, the earliest form (often called “Pure Balboa”) evolved in the mostly conservative dance halls of southern California where space was limited and strict codes of conduct were enforced. These dance halls usually prohibited the wild kicks of the Charleston and Lindy Hop. Pure Balboa is characterized by an upright posture with partners standing chest to chest. Step variations generally play with the rhythm or look and feel (style) from below the knee downwards and deal with changes in direction. Balboa is frequently danced to fast jazz (usually anything from 180 to 320 BPM)\, though many like a slower (170-190 BPM) tempo. While most dancers differentiate between pure Balboa and Bal-Swing\, both are considered to be a part of the dance. Bal-Swing evolved from Balboa when original Balboa dancers experimented with fancier variations of the dance which forced the chest to chest connection to be broken. In this form of Balboa a variety of spins\, turns\, dips\, tricks\, and even air steps are introduced.\n[Defenition pulled from Wikipedia] \n\n* In addition to this class\, don’t miss the mini-lessons and entertainment between jazz band breaks! \n\nThe lesson will be held at the Jazz Age Stage on Lummus Park & 12th Street from 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

SUMMARY:Lesson: Beginner Swing with 4 x World Champions Nathalie & Yuval
DESCRIPTION:Learn the basic dance steps of Swing/Lindy Hop with 4 x World Champions Nathalie Gomes Adams and Yuval Hod!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nNATHALIE GOMES ADAMS \n\n \nYUVAL HOD \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE\n \nLindy Hop is an American dance born in the African-American communities of Harlem\, New York City\, in 1928 and has evolved since then. It was very popular during the swing era of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Lindy is a fusion of many dances that preceded it or were popular during its development but is mainly based on jazz\, tap\, breakaway\, and Charleston. It is frequently described as a jazz dance and is a member of the swing dance family. \nIn its development\, the Lindy Hop combined elements of both partnered and solo dancing by using the movements and improvisation of African-American dances along with the formal eight-count structure of European partner dances – most clearly illustrated in the Lindy’s defining move\, the swingout. In this step’s open position\, each dancer is generally connected hand-to-hand; in its closed position\, leads and follows are connected as though in an embrace on one side and holding hands on the other. \nThere was renewed interest in the dance in the 1980s from American\, Swedish\, and British dancers and the Lindy Hop is now represented by dancers and loosely affiliated grass-roots organizations in North America\, South America\, Europe\, Asia\, and Oceania. \nLindy Hop today is danced as a social dance\, as a competitive dance\, as a performance dance\, and in classes\, workshops\, and camps. Partners may dance alone or together\, with improvisation a central part of social dancing and many performance and competition pieces. \nLindy Hop is sometimes referred to as a street dance\, referring to its improvisational and social nature. In 1932\, twelve-year-old Norma Miller did the Lindy Hop outside the Savoy Ballroom with her friends for tips. In 1935\, 15\,000 people danced on Bradhurst Avenue for the second of a dance series held by the Parks Department. Between 147th and 148th street\, Harlem “threw itself into the Lindy Hop with abandon” as Sugar Hill residents watched from the bluffs along Edgecombe Avenue.\n[Defenition pulled from Wikipedia] \nPut a swing in your step during Art Deco Weekend! \n \n\n* In addition to this class\, don’t miss the mini-lessons and entertainment between jazz band breaks! \n\nGet ready before the weekend— watch ADW’s 2021 online dance classes for free! \n\nThe lesson will be held at the Jazz Age Stage on Lummus Park & 12th Street from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
