JT Swing Teams - Zurich - Season 4
After a season break, we are very happy to announce the launch of JT Swing Teams Season 4 in Zurich!
What is JT Swing Teams?
Some of you have probably seen routines from Season 1 and Season 2 abroad on international events like the Budafest, UK Champs, Nordic Swing and D-Town Swing, etc, and certainly many of you have seen the Zurich team great performance at Swingtzerland 2018, and last year the Season 1 routine in Silbando, SalsaMania, and 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 an amazing opportunity to learn a routine choreographed by Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollmann.
This Fall, Gyuri and Izabella 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
Listening to your feedbacks, this season follows a similar schedule as our previous Season 2: We are going to teach the choreography in terms of weekend intensives while providing practices and coaching sessions on some of the weekdays.
