Rooted Jazz: Intersect
The self among the collective
Seated at the crossroads of concert and social dance, this class will serve as a place to investigate the necessity of connection, root and release within studio based jazz dance. Theriosing with the philosophy of Sankofa we will challenge our bodies to remain anchored by an authentic principle, expression in community, while articulating through eurocentric solo dance patterns.
In practice participants will start each class with a vernacular warm up, continue with progressions, learn phrase work and engage in tasks that aim to put socializing back into dance.
It’s time to cross boundaries, ask questions, indulge and labor in the grooves of jazz dance.
