A Special Class on Early Jazz Dances: Foxtrot & 20s Charleston with Annabel & Michael Quisao presented by DCLX!

Come learn a couple of the partnered dances done in the early days of jazz: 20s Charleston and Jazz Foxtrot. These dances can be done at a variety of tempos and work really well with music from the early jazz years like Trad and Hot Jazz. 

Attending this workshop also gets you admission into our evening social dance! Craig’s band will play some hot jazz tunes at the dance so you can bring your new skills to the dance floor.

DCLX is pleased to bring you our next DCLXtra with the Craig Gildner All Stars. Join us at the Glen Echo Spanish Ballroom for an evening of dancing, live music, and good times!

Craig Gildner, a dynamic band leader, vocalist, guitarist and pianist, can never get enough of the music called swing. Craig, a musician blessed with perfect pitch, finds that the pulse of an upright bass, accompanied by the open hi-hat cymbal rhythms, syncopated saxophones and trumpets are what make him smile.
