Flying Solo with Jo Hoffberg
12/8/2023
City: Boulder, CO
Dances: Solo Jazz
Jo Hoffberg has been running partner dance intensives since 2015. During the pandemic, she had ample time to invest in her solo dancing and is now thrilled to recreate the Lindy Tech environment with a focus on the individual dancer!
Previously, Lindy Techs focused on partner dynamics and what skills were necessary to better speak and listen to a partner. Going even deeper, Jo is excited to dig into what makes a great dancer at Flying Solo: rhythm, body awareness, dynamics, improvisation, and intuition.
This small group, TRAINING WEEKEND INTENSIVE will focus on getting comfortable with improvisation, flawless transitions, and how to dance with all of your body. This weekend is ideal for the student: looking to improve the quality of their movement, interested in a highly-focused training weekend, ready to be challenged, in a highly-structured + freeform learning environment (yup, a balance of both), who is ready to push themselves to get the most out of the weekend (dedicated learners ftw!!!).

Vernacular Spectacular
4/11/2024
City: Montreal
Dances: Lindy, Solo Jazz, Other
We strongly believe that Jazz dance cannot exist in isolation. It needs external influences to grow and be part of a living culture. The event has been inspired by artists who found the tools and means to bridge past and present and ground the expression of the dance and its culture in the awareness of the time and world we live in today.
Goals: This weekend of workshops will allow you to deepen your understanding of multiple fundamental aspects of black dance, oral teaching traditions, wider cultural influences, social dancing, participative culture and the importance of music at the center of it all. Open to all levels! A transformative experience. Everyone is welcome! Teachers: Chester Whitmore, Natasha Powell, Sarah Elola Bands: Swing Legacy Band
