TimeBoogie-Woogie – the dance of the 50s
Boogie Woogie belongs to the Swing dances and is connected closely to Rock'n'Roll in it's history. It's being danced to music from the 30s all the way to the 50s. Learning to dance Boogie doesn't simply imply to get to know exciting figures, but also to be able to dance to the music accordingly and interpret it in your very own way and to fascinate the crowd with fast feet and legs. Boogie is bringing the Swing-era back to life and is fun for everyone!
With Boogie Woogie, fun is guaranteed. This energetic swing dance is danced to the lively rhythms of Swing, Blues, and Rock'n'Roll Music. Playful partner communication, musical interpretation, and lots of fun on the dance floor are central elements of the dance.
In Boogie Woogie 2, you will refine your basic footwork and lead & follow while dancing to faster music. You'll expand your repertoire with new figures, including spins, 8-count swingouts, and highlights for musical breaks. Regular partner rotations allow you to experience the social nature of Boogie Woogie while learning to dance with different partners. This class is intended for dancers who have completed Boogie Woogie 1 or are already comfortable with the basic 6-count steps and a few figures.
