Jennys Jazz part 3: Social solo jazz

Jenny loves to solo dance! Her 3 part workshop will help you improve your solo jazz and help you feel more comfortable to improvise during social dancing both individually, with others or with your dance partner!

These 3 workshops are not about learning a routine or the ‘perfect/correct’ way of solo jazz dancing, these workshops are about learning to have fun with solo jazz and getting yourself more comfortable with experimenting and solo social dancing to swing music!
