✨Tracks

Short Track (4 classes / 2h per day)

Unlock the foundations that make every dance feel amazing. In this well rounded track, which consists of four progressive and connected classes, you’ll build a deep, embodied understanding of movement principles—perfect whether you’re new to jazz/blues or looking to refine the essentials. Grounded in anatomy and natural body movement, we’ll explore the shared vocabulary, body isolation and coordination, stylistic flavors, and expressive power at the heart of jazz and blues dances. Expect clarity and techniques you can use in any dance style. This short track is aimed at dancers who have been taking at least one term of blues, lindy, or solo jazz classes.

Short track topics: 1) Body movement (isolations) 2) Jazz & blues techniques 3) Body movement (coordination) 4) Solo blues vocabulary

Long Track (6 classes, short track plus two extra classes / 3h per day)

Everything in the Short Track—plus two inspiring deep-dives for dancers craving richer insight and personal growth. You’ll go further with two topics: 5) Shake Blues — the style of Al Minns 6) Musicality & the Polyrhythmic Body – alina’s signature method.

This track is for dancers who have been taking at least one term of blues, lindy, or solo jazz classes and who feel ready to experiment and improve their connection to the music.

Whichever track you opt for, you will leave the weekend buzzing with new ideas.
