PARTNER CHARLESTON - FlYLING HOME
4 June-9 July, 6-7pm - Open Space Studios
Fiona and Morgan have been busy in the studio creating an exciting brand-new Partner Charleston routine — starting 4th June at Open Space Studios in Hove. Join us for this fun and energetic 6-week course designed for all levels, where you’ll learn the foundations of 1920s Partner Charleston, including simple turns, call-and-response moves, classic partnered technique, and a fantastic routine to bring it all together.
INTERMEDIATE CHARLESTON - 12th STREET RAG
4 June-9 July, 7-8pm - Open Space Studios
We’ve taken a trip down memory lane and revived a favourite routine from the archives — originally performed as a chorus line piece. We’ve refreshed the choreography, added some exciting new touches, and it’s now ready to teach in our next 6-week course.
Expect sharp lines, synchronised shapes, intricate patterning, and all the elegance of the golden age of performance. Think Busby Berkeley-inspired precision, glamour, and finesse.
