AUGUST 9th

The Tranky Doo: Spirit Moves
10:00am - 2:00pm

In the documentary "The Spirit Moves" Al Minns, Leon James, and Pepsi Bethal share The Tranky Doo. Tranky Doo was a Jazz performer in New York with a signature choreography which starts off this routine. Then; Al, Leon, and Pepsi took off and added a great array of Jazz steps/sequences to share for the filming. Frankie Manning also did a version, and we will get to that in a future workshop!

     1pm - 2pm: Review/Practice Hour
 

If you already know the Tranky Doo (Spirit Moves) and want to come in to practice and hone your skills, please join in for the final hour as we put it all together!  This is an option on the ticket drop down when registering.
