Defiance
Picture an old big band club in this jazz combination. Big movements and kicks sit beside simple, mature stillness. It opens with just a hinge, so check your weight, foot, hip and eyeline.
The piece can be danced in character heels, or in jazz shoes, since the combination is the same. Character shoes show you where your balance is and how your feet are working.
Sharp accents come from the shoulders. A long kick, charleston bounces and runs make it feel like a party.
