Jazz in the style of Betsy Haug, taught by Luis Roman. We are incredibly fortunate to have Luis here on PEI to teach us! His teaching ability allows dancers of all levels and experiences to participate in class together, and everyone learn to their level while getting a full workout. For a visual of this style as it is currently being taught, check out the videos such as THIS ONE from the Betsy Haug Jazz Legacy channel on YouTube

A group of her students, including Luis, are determined to keep her unique style and teaching techniques alive.

WEEK 6

NEW BEGINNERS PLEASE NOTE: ANOTHER BEGINNER BLOCK WILL FOLLOW THIS ONE, AND YOU ARE WELCOME TO JOIN IN THEN!

In 6 weeks, starting October 27th, we’ll teach you the basics of swing dance – Lindy Hop swingouts, basic turns, and a set of kickass 1930’s Charleston moves. By the end of the 6-week block you’ll be able to dance all the way through a big-band jazz song.

The fall is a great time to start a new habit, and getting started with us now means you can dance each week, right through until Spring 2019. Get your body moving, get out of your comfort zone, make new friends, build your skillz and have a whole lot of fun every Wednesday. Smiles guaranteed. It’ll quickly become a highlight of your week!

No partner necessary, nor previous dance experience! LGBTQ+ friendly, all beginners will learn both the ‘lead’ and ‘follow’ roles in the dance.

Classes take place at DownStreet Dance Studio! You can find the prices for single classes, or multi-class passes, at http://downstreetdance.com/pricing/

Class passes are valid for all different kinds of dance offered at DownStreet, and can be split with a friend, or two, or more!

Get your dance on! Pull out your moves and try them in a relaxed and friendly social group. The music playlist encompasses all the dance styles taught at DownStreet Dance, and more. This is a great place to practice anything you don’t quite feel ready to demonstrate in a nightclub! New to the dance scene? Want a refresher before busting out? Join in the beginner lesson at the beginning of the party. No partner necessary. Social dance with lesson, $10. Party only, $6. All prices include HST (Social Dance Parties included free with Studio Monthly Memberships)
