with Kerry Kapaku at Clintonville Womans Club, 3951 N High Street, Columbus, OH.
Workshop cost is $30.00, this includes the entrance to the Central Ohio Hot Jazz dance with Sunset Stomp from 2:00-5pm.
We are so excited to have Kerry Kapaku in teaching St. Louis Shag. Don't know St Louis Shag-- this is the class for you. Looking to find some more options to dance to the the fast tempos the Hot Jazz Society is throwing down-- this is the class. St Louis Shag was a dance that emerged out of St. Louis in the mid-1930s, combining Swing and Charleston elements, and is particularly suited to faster tempos. Kerry Kapaku, from Chicago is a Lindy-Hop teacher and also specializes in St. Louis Shag, and is considered to be one of the strongest shag dancers in the Midwest. Kerry loves to compete, and has placed at events such a Midwest Lindy Fest, Nevermore Jazz Ball, and Camp Hollywood. When she’s not out traveling the country for dancing, owns her own dance studio, DanceWorks Indy. She will be here Sunday sharing with us before the dance at 2pm.

This workshop is intended to introduce you to St. Louis Shag and get you acquainted with the rhythms and patterns to get you on the dance floor.
**Please note: This workshop is an Intro class, so the workshop is geared to teaching the foundations, rhythms and connections for the basics of this dance.
Please sign-up here and let us know you are coming, as our class is in the downstairs of the Clintonville Woman's Club and has limited capacity. The entrance will be the door facing the parking lot of the Woman's Club. Also a reminder that the floor is not a wood floor, however very danceable linoleum.
If you have any questions you can drop us a note at swingcolumbus@gmail.com.
Can't wait to see you on the dance floor!
