Fosse Style Tribal Fusion Combos - Now with 100% More Jazz Hands -
Learn Tribal Fusion combos inspired by the works of innovative Chicago choreographer Bob Fosse! This seductive and jazzy style features isolations, funky footwork, drops, and spins with an old-school vaudeville cabaret flavor. Fosse's personal jazz style of dance is immediately recognizable, exuding a stylized, cynical sexuality. The filmed routines in Cabaret (1972) are particularly characteristic of his style, the vulgar energy of vaudeville and burlesque updated and coolly contained within a slick, conscious sophistication.
All skill levels welcome, however intermediate to advanced dancers will get the most out of this workshop.

Wild and Crazy Full Contact Partnering
Instead of just dancing next to your partner learn how to truly dance WITH your partner as we explore Tribal Fusion combos adapted from tango, salsa and swing. These combos use actual partner contact for spins, drops, and dips and require strength, coordination and a lot of trust. Please bring your yoga mats!
