ADVANCED SOLO JAZZ - RHYTHM AND ESSENCE: English & Spanish

Jazz, as an African-American art form, has rhythm as a fundamental element. In this course, we will work on a rhythm-filled routine and we will draw inspiration from the footsteps of great figures such as Pepsi Bethel, Tops & Wilda, Dean Collins, Frankie Manning or Jazz Young, accompanying the practice with the viewing of original clips that connect us with its roots.

During the routine, we will practise techniques such as soft shoe and slides, movements that will enrich your repertoire and your way of expressing yourself through dance.

In addition, I will share with you African-American ideas, values, and cultural references, along with characteristic elements of the playing style of musicians such as Erroll Garner.

A course designed for dancers who want to delve deeper into the rhythm, history and essence of jazz.
