Flying Solo Workshop with Jo Hoffberg
Schedules change — please confirm with the organizer before you go.
About this event
This is a 13-hour weekend intensive for up to 34 dancers. The focus is on the building blocks of movement — rhythm, bounce, body awareness, arms, and musicality — rooted in the Black American dance tradition. This is not a solo jazz class nor is it focused on choreography, but a training weekend designed to make you a better dancer.
All levels welcome and brave beginners are encouraged to attend.
The weekend material will progress. Your responsibility as a student is to work at whatever level challenges you. As the weekend will be a mixed level group, there is no expectation you'll learn/process all of the material; however, Jo requests that you do your best to stay connected to the concepts and stay curious.
A few things to know before you register:
Your spot is reserved for one week. Payment confirms your registration. Once confirmed, you'll receive a welcome packet with everything you need for the weekend — schedule, what to bring, what to expect, and how to prepare.
At the end of the weekend, you'll receive Jo's class notes and review materials - there is a built-in feedback session on the final day. Sunday evening, we typically go out for food, drinks, and dancing to non-swing music. You're not obligated, but it's a highlight. Please do consider being a party animal with us :D
