Flying Solo with Jo Hoffberg
Boulder, CO
Flying Solo with Jo Hoffberg12/8/2023City: Boulder, CODances: Solo JazzJo 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!!!).Teachers: Jo Hoffberg

Vernacular Spectacular4/11/2024City: MontrealDances: Lindy, Solo Jazz, OtherWe 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 ElolaBands: Swing Legacy Band

Stockholm Blues Immersion
Stockholm
Stockholm Blues Immersion7/24/2024City: StockholmDances: BluesSwedish summer. A remote cabin in the woods where you'll spend 5 days immersed in blues and the blues community with a small group of advanced blues dancers. Together you'll enjoy a relaxed schedule where you'll have plenty of time for lessons and practice, but also forest walks, swimming and hanging out in the sauna. Ever feel like workshops don't get you very far anymore, and that you keep scratching the surface of many things but never really master any of them? We want Stockholm Blues Immersion to be the remedy. Our teachers will cover fewer topics, but we'll stay on each topic longer to really explore it properly, both during the lesson and in practice sessions. Is this for you? Have you been dancing for a while but feel like you’ve reached a plateau? Are you maybe teaching blues but feel like you don’t have a lot of peers in your local scene to practice with? Do you go to a lot of festivals and workshops but wish there were more time to explore some topics in depth? Are you really passionate about learning more about blues and advancing your dance skills? Yes? Then this is for you.Teachers: Flouer Evelyn and Adam Skoglund
