Rhythm JunctionSunday, July 7th, 2019 at 12:00pmHaving trouble imagining how dancing Solo Jazz with other people will work in our Solo-ish Jazz Contest?
Take a gander at this video from Lindy Bout's Solo-ish Jazz Competition earlier this year that we may or may not be brazenly copying!

You can see that every single couple does things a little bit differently, but each and every one puts a smile on our faces! You'll also notice that they're rarely if ever looking at the judges because they have to look at each other, and quite frankly that is very comforting to at least us!
There's still time to sign up for our contest! We'd love to have you, regardless of skill level!

Rhythm JunctionFriday, July 5th, 2019 at 12:00pmSome of you are very young, but did you all know that Soul Train was a TV show in the 1970s that travelled from place to place featuring predominantly black amateur dancers? It started out as a way to feature young Chicago students and grew to be one of the biggest sensations in the TV nation.
Some of the coolest artists performed on the show, and it's still referenced in music videos today (we see you, Migos).
All this to say, DJ Lauren is planning on showcasing some soul music this coming Monday at RJ, and although we can't guarantee they were all on Soul Train, we'd love to see you all dance with the confidence that these dancers showed to their television audience!
Feel free to dress in your paisley, your bell-bottom pants, your jumpsuits, and probably anything polyester you can find in your closet on Monday.
Don't forget to pickup some SMOOTH MOVES from our Solo Jazz class beforehand, either!
See you Monday!
