The sweet, sweet slow jazz. There's a whole range of music at slower tempos that is beautiful, dynamic, playful, sassy, and seriously underrated. We wanted to provide an inspiring weekend for both dancers who already love slow music and for dancers who want to build skills in what to do at slower tempos. With some of today's finest jazz musicians on board, we hope you'll fall as much in love with the music as we are. Our original inspiration for Slow Dance Soirée was to provide a slow dance weekend tailored for Lindy Hoppers, but this event has become inclusive of many different dance styles! Our teachers draw their inspiration not just from Lindy Hop, but from Blues, Balboa, Tango, West Coast Swing, and more. The classes at the event will focus on core movements and techniques that can help all aspects of dancing, and we're sure the music will keep dancers from all backgrounds inspired and elated.
