Lesson Description:In this lesson, part of the Killer Diller Solo Rhythm Jam lesson pack, you'll learn a sample 4x8 (32 count) jam from Killer Diller team member Juan, with a handful of moves that work for a solo jazz jam, plus get an insight into how the Killer Dillers build their jam routines. The short routine includes a striking variation on the 1920s Charleston basic, plus a lock turn break that is perfect for emphasizing the end of a musical phrase.
