The Workshop:

Foundations of Tandem Charleston by John Ennis and Ruth Brown

Tandem Charleston is a part of Lindy Hop, a dance that evolved from Partner Charleston in Harlem in the late 20s and early 30s. Tandem Charleston is well-suited to faster music and offers a simple, fun, and visually impressive way to dance.

In this 2 hour workshop, we’ll work on the technique of Tandem Charleston including body positioning, timing, efficiency, and lead/follow technique. From these foundations we’ll build several basic Tandem Charleston patterns and cover entrances and exits between Tandem and side by side Charleston. Styling and energetic variations will also be introduced.

Your instructors.
