Walter Nelson, experienced teacher of Jazz Age (1920s-40s) ( the “Modern Dances”) will conduct a class on tango, fox trot and waltz. In the Jazz Age, almost everyone danced, so they danced in a way almost anyone could do. The class will make use of films of the time, and hopefully dispel many widespread misconceptions. He will focus on the styles practiced by “regular folks”, and not exhibition dancers like Fred and Ginger. The emphasis will be on things you can put to practical use Saturday night at In the Mood: Love in the 30s.
