Description

Study Group-Practice :
Sometimes you want to social dance but other times you just want to practice and go over material you learned in class before your next class. This is study time for students to practice, figure out and ask an instructor or fellow dancer for help on class material being learned by the students. By practicing in between classes students can focus more on new material in the following class without having to mentally struggle with remembering the progress they had in the previous class. This is open to our students currently registered in classes and our students that are in between classes or workshops.
Additionally, if you are in the area and want to drop by to meet the East Side Six team and see what goes on in our dance classes before registering, feel free to come by and say hello.

What is Rockabilly Jive?

In the 1950s kids with parents from the swing era didn’t want to dance like their parents. This rebellious behavior was one of many reasons that drove teens during those days to find new dance variations and styles. The change in music, energy and rhythm of Rock n Roll music called for different styles of dancing that would fit the backbeat of rock n roll. The terminology varied just as much as the dance styles. You will encounter many terms such as Stroll, Bop, The Madison, Bunny Hop, The Twist, Boogie-Woogie, Rock n’ Roll, Jitterbug, etc.
