Open Level

This level is open to all levels of dancers - from complete beginners to those who have been dancing for years! The choreography is accessible to new dancers but detailed enough to give more experienced dancers a challenge. The material is presented at a more relaxed pace, and we focus on learning vintage jazz in a supportive atmosphere.

Examples of an Open Level routine: Moonlight Savings Time

Summer Session: Slow Jazz

This is our second annual slow jazz routine, to be performed at Slow Dance Soiree at the Memorial Art Gallery! This is our biggest routine of the year and we’d love to everyone to be a part. We’ll be performing for dancers from all over the country, and as the first performance of the evening, we’ll be welcoming them all to Rochester!

This routine is a slower tempo than many of our recent performances (around 120bpm), but that will give us all the room we need for a lot of rhythms, groove, and smooth moves.

Our song is Moon Ray by the Boilermaker Jazz Band.
