Full instructional video available at www.heedman.com/shop Friday Fiesta "The Big Apple-party" In this series we will work with the original dance clip from the movie "Keep Punching" and the Big Apple routine that is seen there choreographed by Frankie Manning. We are not only going to work through the steps and the routine but will focus on different ways of doing each step and highlight different dancers from the Whitey's Lindy Hoppers and their own unique way in some of these steps. We hope to inspire you to move differently and help you find a more authentic frame of reference for your body movements. This series includes anecdotes and tips that we got from Frankie on some of the steps in the Big Apple routine. We will talk about how we practiced before the big performance for "Frankie 95" when we were going to perform this routine for Frankie's supposed-to-be "Birthday show" and what we did to improve our own dancing after 10 years of already have "known" the Big Apple. We will also talk about what is good to think about when choreographing a routine and how many routines of today have lost the link and resemblance of swing jazz music. Special treat for this series: The Big Apple Contest! If you want to; you send us a video of yourself dancing after the full class series is completed and we are going to select one winner based on: authenticity, rhythm, style and spirit. The winner will not only get a clear description of "why" he/she/they won but also, you will win a little special something- Surprise!!
