Vernacular Jazz with Hannah

Embrace the music and movement of the swing era in this vernacular jazz dance class. Vernacular jazz encompasses solo dances that originated alongside swing music in the early 20th century. In this class, you’ll learn some foundational moves, and explore how to use them to let loose and dance to swing music. No prior dance experience required.
