Jazzy warm-up

What are we gonna do there? Of course, we start with quite an extensive warm-up and special exercises for dancers. Then we just dance to jazz music: the music doesn’t stop, you dance along with Katya, you can copy-paste the moves, or you can improvise on the fly. We start with the easiest moves, and incorporate solo jazz moves (and maybe even some easy combos from the famous routines) and rhythms into our dancing, slowly expanding our repertoire. The music will be jazz, but diverse – Latin jazz, electroswing, blues, New Orleans, classic swing, bebop, folk jazz, maybe sometimes even 1 really grooving pop tune… Every class is a new playlist; every class is different!

We also cover :

• a bit of exercise to take care of our feet, back and core
• balance and stretching
• body awareness techniques
• flexibility and coordination

For whom:

• anybody who is not ready to think too much about the combination of moves or improvisation, but would like to experience some solo jazz dance
• who are ready to go with the flow and ‘drill until you feel’
• who want to have a bit of a dance workout
• any level of dance experience is welcome

Drop-ins are welcome!
