In the early ‘30s, the Rumba, based on music brought to North America and Europe from Cuba, became a dance sensation.
In those days of the "Good Neighbor Policy", it was followed by the Samba from Brazil and the Conga, also from Cuba.
Walter Nelson will share from his collection of film footage from the era, showing how those dances were danced in the US at the time - to include in the early years when Rumba music showed up without any real instructions on how to dance to it.
Elegant Dances of the Jazz Age in Glendale
Just in time for the Avalon Ball, Walter Nelson will present a class in the free, easy and elegant dances of the Jazz Age ballroom: the Foxtrot, the Tango and (time permitting) the Waltz in their intimate and easy-to-learn Jazz Age forms.
This is a class for beginners and for more experienced dancers who want to add some authentic Jazz Age style to their dancing. Walter will make extensive use of clips from old movies to show how it was really done back in the day.
$20 by cash or check at the door.
