This series explores the fundamentals of jazz singing in a safe and fun setting, with a final public performance of a “set” of 3-4 songs per student while accompanied by a jazz trio. Class meets four times. Great motivational class for singers who want to “go the distance” from choosing songs to performing them onstage. Class is limited to 5 students on a first come, first serve basis, and is open to all levels, ages teen through adult. Registration cost is $210 (includes 4 three hour-long classes with two instructors, piano accompaniment, all handout materials, and performance/recital fees).

*NEXT CLASS SERIES: 4 Sundays: Jan. 9th, 23rd, Feb. 6th and 20th. Performance date TBA

Happy Summer, Waltz Lover --

Just a reminder: The August Waltz Cafe sneaks up on us earlier than we think: The dance is next Sunday, August 22. at the Century Ballroom. Seems like it ought to be later in the calendar, but these quirks happen when the 1st of any month falls on a Sunday.

Now that you've been alerted, we hope you won't miss Quartet Chassez -- with Dina Blade's lush vocals, Terry Wergeland's dreamy piano, and, of course, the musical savvy of those longtime dance-hall pros, Phil and Vivian Williams.

As usual, the Waltz Cafe starts at 1 p.m. and goes until 3:30. Like last month, when the weather was sunny and hot outside, the Century Ballroom's efficient system of exhaust fans kept us dancers cool and happy -- so don't let some August sunshine keep you from this joyous little dance.

Cost is still just $10, parking is (still) free on Sundays, and like clockwork The Tin Table opens at 3 p.m. just across the hall for drinks and fab food.
