More about the location(s)

Language & teacher(s) English

UK jazz refers to the improvised dance style that emerged in the United Kingdom in the 1970s. This style first surfaced in London clubs to the sounds of bebop, Afro-Cuban jazz, fusion, swing and other jazz and funk with Latin influences.

Characteristic is the sharp and fast footwork, with which spectacular dance battles were held in the early days! In addition, UK jazz also contains many high jumps, challenging knee drops, fascinating spins and unexpected rhythmic turns to the music. We start with a warm-up around body flow, movement exploration and improvisation. Then you'll be introduced to footwork techniques and variations of UK jazz fusion and house dance.

We end with a dance jam where playful directions will encourage you to improvise.

Practical

Wear clothes and shoes in which you can move easily and bring a bottle of water. This class is taught in English.

Level of experience

Level X: suitable for dancers from different backgrounds. You do not need any experience to participate!
