Spring 2024 classes

Charleston course

The Charleston is a dance with many forms. It originated in the 1920’s and its name derived from the town Charleston in South Carolina. Similarly to Lindy Hop, it has its origins in African-American culture. Versions that are dance are the 20’s Charleston, the 30’s Charleston and of course solo Charleston. We consider these dances part of the swing dances and they can be mixed with Lindy hop. We wil cover the basic rhythms, 20’s and 30’s styles, some figures and variations and perhaps some solo moves. This course is intended for dancers that did our beginner course and those that did the lindy 2 course. If you were not part of these courses and you have some dancing experience, or dancers that did level 3, and you still want to join, please send us an email and we will let you kniow when there are spots left.

We rotate partners in class – this means you also can join the class if you don’t have a dance partner. To increase your chance of getting a spot in class you can register as ambi (either lead or follow).
