During our 4 week Beginners course you will  continue learning a repertoire of classic Charleston steps .....

We will cover:

- The basic Charleston step: 'Jay Bird'
- How to 'Swivel' your feet during your basic step
- A selection of classic solo Charleston moves and gestures (i.e. scarecrow, windmill, crazy knees, shoeshine, knee slaps, black bottom and more!)
- A fun, bouncy, energetic routine over the 5 weeks that links your newfound moves together :) 

Dancing the Charleston is addictive, uplifting and fun!
It will lift your mood, give you a good cardio workshop, develop your dance ability and musicality, and give you the opportunity to make a whole new circle of friends!

After your beginners course you are very welcome to join our regular I Can Charleston Class which is an open level class on a Thursday evening , 7.30 - 8.30 pm. In this class you will advance your repertoire of Charleston steps and work on routines which are often performed to the public at events :) 

First time at Bollywood Dance Class. The dance is broken down into segments which I think makes it much easier to follow. Music lends itself to the dance movements which in turn  also helps. Teacher very knowledgeable and patient.
