Authentic Jazz Weekend Level A - Al Minns
Level A as in "Al Minns"
The Al level is for new solo jazzers. The level is for those of you who have just now found the world of dancing and are a new member at WCJ. Welcome! Maybe you have just tried the Shim Sham or tasted some solo jazz dancing in classes for Lindy Hop.
The pace of classes will be slow, focusing on learning several jazz steps and fundamental techniques. You will have external teachers in solo jazz, afro, and house and internal WCJ teachers.
facts about…
Al “Rubberlegs” Minns was an energetic dancer with a wild, crazy-leg style that reminds a bit of "Long-Legged George" Grenidge. Minns was in Whitey's top group, known as The Harlem Congaroos, and appeared in the feature film Hellzapoppin' and the popular soundie Hot Chocolates.
As the youngest dancer in this group, he was particularly fit and flexible. He formed a striking horizontal plane on the initial backstep of his swing out. Minns continued to perform Lindy Hop and jazz dance with Leon James through the fifties and sixties. Minns also played a part in the revival of Lindy Hop in the 1980s, when he was invited to Stockholm in 1984 by The Rhythm Hot Shots dance company to teach the dance the way he knew it.
