- **Event Name**: Solo Jazz Workshop with Dani Dowler ft Mama Stew & Tranky Doo
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 May, 2025 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 10 May, 2025 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: This solo jazz class is great for beginners and advanced dancers alike. It will explore solo body movement in the context of jazz music, with emphasis on personal body movement, technique, phrasing, musicality, and much more.

Participants will also learn two historical choreographed dances: first the Mama Stew, named after Louise "Mama Lou" Parks and used as an advanced warmup routine by Whitey's Lindy Hoppers at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, and second; the Tranky Doo, whose origin story is somewhat mysterious, but which also finds a home in 30s and 40s Harlem. In both routines, participants will learn to boogie, suzie Q, and fall off the log like the best of them! Dancers should come in comfortable clothing and with shoes that offer little resistance to the dance floor.

Dani Dowler started her movement journey in gymnastics because her mom figured if she was going to flip off the living room couch, she might as well do it safely. Since then, her love of movement has only grown - from competitive dance and gymnastics, to cross-country, to pole vault and high jump, to dancing in the kitchen while cooking and taking nature 'hikes' with her nephews. She discovered swing dancing in 2006 in Cleveland and hasn't looked back. She has a particular fondness for all things solo jazz, Charleston, and Lindy Hop; but mostly just enjoys emplosring wasy to move and groove with swing music. With a BA and MFA in dance, 30-ish years of performing experience, and 20-ish years of teaching experience, Dani is passionate about bringing excitement, honesty, expression, and body awareness to every class she teaches, no matter the dance style.
