Dance Classes & Workshops (Studio)
JazzBetween invites you to explore movement through the footwork-oriented practices of House Dance and UK Jazz Fusion, placing them within a broader exploration of movement and improvisation. The classes go beyond learning steps. We use footwork as a starting point for developing musicality, coordination, movement quality, and freedom in improvisation. Through groove and rhythm, step technique, movement textures, and body flow, you will discover new ways of responding to music, approaching improvisation from different movement perspectives, and developing your own movement language. Each workshop or class combines technical foundations with guided exploration. You will work with:
Warm-ups based on body flow, grooves, movement textures, imagination, and improvisation
Foundations of House Dance and UK Jazz Fusion
Step technique and footwork variations
Footwork as a tool for rhythm, musicality, and improvisation
Floorwork, transitions, and continuous movement
Presence, performance qualities, and movement-exploration tools
Rhythmic awareness and different ways of interpreting music
Guided improvisation games, self-training exercises, and group jam sessions
JazzBetween welcomes dancers from all backgrounds.
