Workshop: Charleston 101

It was done to both Ragtime and Traditional Jazz music that embodied quick, syncopated rhythms and improvised steps taken from several African dances. Students will learned the partnered form of Charleston, as well as several moves and stylings.
Prerequisites: Comfortable doing 6-count Lindy Hop basics.
