>
> Beginner Jitterbug: This class will be an introduction to the most  
> well known form of swing dancing; the Jitterbug. This
> dance was made famous in the 40s & 50s, but is still enjoyed today  
> all across the world. We will dance to all kinds of music
> from big band to blues to early rock and roll. You will learn  
> several basic foot work patterns, how to connect with a partner
> and socially lead and follow a variety of moves in open and closed  
> position. There are many opportunities in the Cleveland
> area to go out and dance and this is a great way to get involved,  
> meet people, and get some exercise too! Don't be afraid!
> This dance is very easy and fun to learn!
>
> Intermediate Jitterbug: If you can do a triple step basic while  
> holding a conversation; then congratulations, you have just
> been promoted to intermediate Jitterbug! In this class we will work  
> on some fancier, flashier variations on moves you may
> already know, learn some fun new moves, and tackle some interesting  
> footwork patterns. We'll also sharpen up your leading
> and following skills. Yep, all that in 5 weeks!
>
> Beginning Lindy Hop: Lindy Hop is the original form of swing dancing  
> that began in the ballrooms of Harlem, NY in the
> late 20s/early 30s. It is done in 8 counts rather than the  
> Jitterbug's 6 and therefore allows you to match the music much
> better. It is a bit more linear versus the circular Jitterbug. The  
> Lindy is a bit more difficult to learn but oh so worth it! When
> you begin to master the swing out, circle, inside turn, outside  
> turn, RJ, and more....you will have a sense of overwhelming
> euphoria and true connection to the music! For examples of the Lindy  
> think of the dance scenes in the movies “Swing Kids”
> and “Malcolm X”.
>
> Beginning Balboa: Balboa and Bal-Swing are dances that originated in  
> the crowded ballrooms of Southern California and
> were most popular in the mid 30s. The Balboa is most loved for its  
> fancy footwork, finesse, subtleties, and ability to be done
> quite easily at fast tempos. Bal is done with a closer torso-to- 
> torso type connection and is the perfect dance for working on
> leading and following body leads.
>
> Intermediate Lindy Hop: We have lots of fun and interesting moves  
> that will help you improve your basic Lindy while
> adding to your toolbox of moves. You will learn some alternate  
> footwork patterns and also dive into a bit of partnered
> Charleston as well.
>
> Intermediate Balboa/Bal-Swing: Bal-Swing; with its open body  
> connection developed when the strict Balboa and
> California style swing were combined. Bal-Swing and its bigger,  
> flashier movements often times got dancers kicked out of
> the ballrooms back in the day! Come and be a rebel and learn the  
> Balboa and Bal-Swing with us!
>

> You do NOT need a partner to sign up for class. We rotate partners  
> in all of our classes.
>

>
> Please contact the Brecksville Center for the Arts to sign up for
