Sharon Davis's Jazz Headliners Class at Stompology 2009

Sharon Davis from Perth, Australia teaches a class on April 18, 2009. Check out her website at http://sharondavis.com.au and the Stompology event at http://www.stompology.com

The original description from the Stompology website: "Draw some inspiration from those great solo acts that became jazz and tap's Hollywood headliners, dancing their way to top billing from the 1920s to early 50s. Yep, back then dancing, singing and acting were all on par when it came to stardom, unlike dance today, the neglected half-respected little brother of the modern entertainment industry. So we'll wind back the years, and get a taste of some of Sharon's jazz and tap idols, including Hal Leroy, Eleanor Powell, Fred Astaire, Dixie Dunbar, Gene Kelly, Vera-Ellen, Bill Robinson and Mitzi Gaynor. Learn a slick and energetic jazz routine meant for the spotlight, plus be able to go home and drop a few names your gran might recognize."
