JT Swing Teams - Zurich - Season 2
We are very happy to announce the launch of JT Swing Teams Season 2 in Zurich!
What is JT Swing Teams?
Some of you have probably seen routines from Season 1 on international events like the UK Champs, Nordic Swing and D-Town Swing, and certainly many of you have seen the Zurich group very recent, great performance on our last Silbando party or Dance Inn party.
From the dancers' perspective learning choreography offers a unique environment not only to learn new patterns but also to improve partnering and pesonal skillsets, quality of movement, musicality and showmanship. With JT Swing Teams dancers have amazing opportunity to learn a routine choreographed by Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann.
This Fall, Gyuri and Eszter are going to teach and coach their routine for the next season in Zurich.
Level
We will run JT Swing Team’s Novice/Intermediate level routine (it is called Junior Varsity level, i.e. JV), which suppose to be challenging for Novice level dancers. For those of you who have done this season, the difficulty staying the same or slightly more challenging. To attend the classes a good level of West Coast Swing (our Level 3 or above preferred), and/or experience in choreography in other dances is required. Both you and your fixed partner (there is no rotation in the class) have to be pre-approved by teachers to be able to participate.
Schedule Overview
This season we have decided to try a different approach than our Spring season, and we are going to teach the choreography in terms of weekend intensives while providing practices and coaching sessions on some of the weekdays.

Depending on your level and commitment to the course and performances you will need to practice the choreography with your partner outside of the above listed sessions. Those additional practices are optional, and you can find time and place on your own. If there is enough interest in the group, we will try to help you find an available room for additional practice sessions.
