Solo Jazz with Cati Gentili
Saturday 10th October
Who's it for?
The workshop is for all experience levels, whether you're just starting out or have several years' experience or more. Ideally you'll have a basic knowledge of Solo Jazz or Lindy Hop, or are a dancer from another discipline. If not but you're a confident mover, feel free to join us if you're ready to give Solo Jazz a try!
Registration is now OPEN for our autumn Solo Jazz workshop with fabulous guest teacher, Cati Gentili! Tap the red button below for tickets.
Cati is from Italy and currently lives in London. She's passionate about Solo Jazz and has been been teaching regularly at festivals around the UK since 2019.
During the workshop you will explore and solidify your solo jazz technique and expression. Starting from the big pillar of phrasing in jazz and the use of simple but effective rhythms, we will then move towards exploring full body grooves both in improvisation and choreography.
Ultimately, these sessions will aim to provide both a strong technical foundation and a practice method that you can continue to use in your dance journey. The final goal will always be uncovering your individual expression and body-connection through this beautiful dance form.
When / where?
2 x 1.5-hour sessions with a 30-minute break in the middle.

Beyond the Basics: Lindy Hop with Katie Cobalt & Sean Vitale

Who's it for?
This workshop is for anyone who's been dancing socially for a while and wants to go Beyond the Basics! If you've been coming to our Fundamentals drop-in classes for a while, this is for you. If you're not sure, feel free to get in touch or chat to one of us at our weekly social.
We're thrilled to announce that Katie Cobalt is returning to Brighton to teach Lindy Hop - and she's bringing her good friend Sean Vitale, who is visiting all the way from the USA.
The workshop will be in two parts:
Fast Dancing - How to dance FAST while keeping your COOL
When the fast song comes on you don't have to run to the bar! We are going to give you some tips and tricks to dance speedy without becoming a sweaty mess.
MAGIC on the dance floor - Social dancing that SPARKLES
It's always spectacular when something happens on the social floor that neither partner expected and yet somehow it worked! In this class we're going to work on how to build your communication skills to make those magical moments happen.
Don't miss this opportunity to spend time with these two inspirational teachers. We will work hard but it will be FUN! Limited early bird tickets available until 7 October...
