What: Solo Jazz & Charleston Beginners / 18 weeks
When: Mondays at 17:20 - 18:30 (Aug 12 - Dec 16)
Where: Black Pepper Swing (Karjalankatu 2, Helsinki)
Want to start dancing to swing/jazz tunes? You found the right place!
If songs by Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, and Ella Fitzgerald make it impossible to sit still - this is the place for the restless jazz feets!
It's all about swinging to the great, popular party music of the 1920s to 1960s called jazz. Letting ourselves enjoy the music and the rhythm, dancing and grooving together with these tunes.
We will explore essential jazz steps from the 1920s to 1940s including the Charleston and many others. We'll get familiar with the rhythmical fundamentals of jazz music and dancing, do short routines, plus jam, improvise, and have a good time.
No previous experience whatsoever required! We'll start from zero and grow step by step together.
The course content of Solo Jazz Beginners is varied, so it’s very much possible to take several rounds of the Beginners course before advancing to a higher level.
Student from previous season: you may choose to level up to Improvers/Intermediate and/or repeat the Beginners.

Solo Jazz & Charleston has its roots in authentic swing and jazz dance styles dating back to the 1920s to 1940s. The dance gets its inspiration from African-American roots and various styles of jazz music - big band swing, rhythm ‘n’ blues, and be-bop, to name a few.
In Solo Jazz & Charleston we jam together, discover old-school jazz steps, learn short choreographies, and find ways to self-expression. The swing dance community is now growing faster than ever all over the planet. If you feel the calling, hop in!
