Swing Dancing, Lobdell, Musicality lesson

Ken T Takusagawa kenta at MIT.EDU
Wed Dec 22 16:25:03 EST 2010


The lesson will be on musicality, taught by me.  7:30-9.

Musicality is the art of dancing to the music, regarding the 
music as more, much more, than just a beat or a series of 
8-counts.  We'll talk about the structure of swing songs, 
and the many musical elements that together make up a 
pleasing to listen to and pleasing to dance to song.  Ken 
has been a musician for over 20 years, playing many 
different styles, ensembles, and musical instruments.

(Foxman unfortunately got sick and is unable to teach solo 
blues today.)
