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

DESCRIPTION:Learn the basic dance steps of 20’s Charleston with 4 x World Champion Yuval Hod & Juls Slavikas!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nYUVAL HOD \n\n\n \nJULS SLAVIKAS \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE\n \n20’s Charleston is a dance named after the harbor city of Charleston\, South Carolina. The rhythm was popularized in mainstream dance music in the United States by a 1923 tune called “The Charleston” by composer/pianist James P. Johnson\, which originated in the Broadway show Runnin’ Wild and became one of the most popular hits of the decade. The peak year for the Charleston as a dance by the public was mid-1926 to 1927.[1]  It’s known as “the father of swing\,” as it evolved to Lindy Hop.\n[ 1 Defenition 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

SUMMARY:Lesson: Beginner Collegiate Shag w Dance Champs Nathalie & Minn
DESCRIPTION:Get a Taster of Collegiate Shag with International Dance Champions Nathalie Gomes Adams & Minn Vo!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nNATHALIE GOMES ADAMS \n\n \nMINN VO \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE STYLES\nCollegiate Shag (or “Shag”) is a partner dance done primarily to uptempo swing and pre-swing jazz music (185-250+ beats per min) belonging 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. \n \n“Shag” itself (when used in reference to American social dances) is a very broad term used to denote a number dances that originated in the first half of the 20th century. Today\, the term “collegiate shag” is often used interchangeably with “shag” to refer to a particular style of dance that was popular amongst American youth during the swing era of the 1930s and 40s. To call the dance “collegiate shag” was not as common during the swing era as it is today\, but when the “collegiate” portion was tacked on\, it was meant to indicate the style of the dance that was popular amongst the college crowd.1 \nThe shag is still danced today by swing dance enthusiasts worldwide.\n[1 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 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.

SUMMARY:Jesse Jones Jr. Jazz Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:Jazz is alive in South Florida and Jesse Jones Jr. is here to prove it! The Miami native is a saxophonist extraordinaire and continues to be on the forefront of a burgeoning jazz renaissance in South Florida. Jones and his brother\, Melton Mustafa\, who is one of the great trumpet players of our time\, have been a running force in music for many years. \nAs a child\, Jones would listen to a neighbor practice his saxophone while playing along with Cannonball Adderly albums. “I loved that sound and knew right then I was going to be a musician for the rest of my life.” Jones went on to attend Mississippi Valley State University where he excelled in music. After college\, he joined the military and became a member of the US Navy Show Band. Jones traveled throughout North and South America\, and had the opportunity to develop his showmanship skills. Besides playing the sax\, clarinet and flute on tour\, Jones sang\, tap-danced and performed comedy skits. After serving his four year military term\, Jones moved to Boston before returning home to Miami\, where he signed with Fantasy Records in 1996. \nSunday\, January 14th\, 2024 \n3:30 pm – 5:30 pm \nJazz Age Stage at Lummus Park and 12th Street

SUMMARY:Lesson: Collegiate Shag & Balboa Taster with Minn Vo & Karolina Chrapkova
DESCRIPTION:Get a taster of Collegiate Shag and Balboa steps with International Champions Minn Vo & Karolina Chrapkova!\nNo partner required!\nABOUT YOUR TEACHERS \n\n\n\n \nMINN VO \n\n\n \nKAROLINA CHRAPKOVA \n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE DANCE STYLES\nCollegiate Shag (or “Shag”) is a partner dance done primarily to uptempo swing and pre-swing jazz music (185-250+ beats per minute). 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

SUMMARY:Dancing in the Age of Deco
DESCRIPTION:In the 1920s and ’30s\, social dancing was more popular in America than at any other time in history. Dancing happened almost anywhere people got together\, infused with the same modern spirit that animated the art and architecture of the period. The popularity of dance created a vast infrastructure to support it\, from sumptuous dance palaces to nightclubs and many other building types\, often in the latest architectural styles. In this Art Deco Weekend talk\, historian and instructor Walter Nelson uses images and film from the era to capture this lost world of social dance\, correcting the very distorted view in today’s popular culture about how people danced in the past. \nOrganized by the Wolfsonian-FIU \nFree | Register

SUMMARY:Opening Night Soirée with The Cab Calloway Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:SOLD OUT – The show is sold out but may be enjoyed from Ocean Drive or Lummus Park adjacent to 12th street without a required ticket.\nDress dapper at VIP Night for MDPL Members— featuring The Cab Calloway Orchestra\, swing dance performances\, mini dance lessons\, and more!\nGet ready for a high-energy\, joyous\, and soulful performance ignited with audience participation! The Cab Calloway Orchestra\, directed by Cab’s first-born grandson\, “The Prince of Hi De Ho\,” C. Calloway Brooks\, comes from the Big Band Swing Jazz Orchestra style that came bursting out of the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom in the Harlem Renaissance during the golden age of radio in the 1930s and 1940s. \nGrowing directly out of the Louis Armstrong New Orleans Dixieland tradition\, Cab Calloway and his Orchestras virtually wrote the book on the “Hot Swing” sound and the “Jump” genre\, including a featured progressive approach to performance.  \nEvery day Brooks carries on the tradition of American big band music. The Cab Calloway Orchestra’s goal under C. Calloway Brooks is to expand the recognition and appreciation of its unique sound and sensibility while maintaining the integrity of Cab’s amazing musical repertoire. They want to make sure that you “keep that Hi-De-Ho in your soul!”
