Jazzdance

Our jazzdance classes present the dancer with high standards of dance technique to convey the concept of Vernacular Jazz. Techniques such as Matt Mattox and Gus Giordano give a variety of possibilities for center work, cross floor, combinations and choreographies. Polyrhythmic and polycentric isolations, improvisation, body workouts and historical and dance technical explanations should create a picture of the nature of jazzdance within the student. Insights into other jazzdance techniques such as Musical- and Revue Jazz, Jazzballet and Modern Jazz as well as Afro Jazz and Street Jazz are taught additionally to the ambitious students and allow skillful and impressive choreographic freedom.

Classes last for 75 minutes and are mostly booked in combination with other suitable training classes.
