There’s a Tranky Doo workshop coming up on Sunday 12th February! It’s an awesome solo jazz routine that’s a step up from the Shim Sham but not quite as hard as the Big Apple!
We’re also running the Shim Sham and Slip Slop Shim Sham workshops on the following dates: 18th February – Slip Slop Shim Sham 4th March – Shim Sham
Hot Charleston is also running as normal on Saturday 11th February 3.30-5.30pm, so why not make a weekend of it!
Have a look at this video clip of Al Minns, Leon James and Pepsi Bethel performing the Tranky Doo from the Spirit Moves documentary to get you inspired!
Hot Charleston is a great way to learn the Charleston, have fun, burn off a few calories and meet some great people. The next two Hot Charleston sessions are on 12th November and 26th November.

The workshop is open to absolute beginners and experienced dancers alike, starting from the basic step giving you a few showy moves and a good workout. The workshop has two sections; the first section gives you a short fun routine and the second section focuses on developing the steps you’ve learnt in the first section, introducing a freestyle aspect (but in a structured way). This will give you the confidence to Charleston anywhere.
Check out this video from the last Hot Charleston here and see the fun for yourself:
