Boogie Woogie Special Workshop 1 – Oliver & Patrizia Fritsche

Boogie Woogie Special Workshop 1 is an advanced instructional program designed for dancers looking to expand their Boogie Woogie repertoire with creative partner figures, step variations, and blues-influenced styling. Taught by Oliver & Patrizia Fritsche, this workshop combines traditional Boogie Woogie techniques with fresh ideas that can be applied to social dancing, demonstrations, and performance routines.

The program explores a variety of figure groups, including combinations danced from the left-hand shakehand position, simple acrobatic movements, rhythmic footwork variations, and classic blues-inspired elements. Each section concludes with choreographies danced to music, allowing dancers to see how the figures can be connected naturally on the dance floor.
