Jazz Fusion

Maria’s class is all about time: Time to discover our bodies while moving Time to embrace our softness Time to develop our strengths Time to work on our expression in dance The focus of this class will be on individuality, expression and meaning within your dance. Based on techniques of lyrical jazz, contemporary, and modern dance the class is a fusion between classical dance training and improvisation. The class will be structured into 3 main parts. In the first part, you will be guided through a warm-up that implements elements of improvisation and contemporary. In the second part of the class you’ll have a workout that also implements some basics of jazz technique. In the third part of the class, you will learn choreography. For Maria, the choreography mustn’t overwhelm the students by its length or complexity of moves. You will rather have the chance to implement your own quality within the movements to own the choreography and therefore create your own piece. The musical vibe of the class is going to be a quite a mix. Going from forward techno music to soft RnB vibes, with lots of different styles in-between. When it comes to the choreographies the sound will be softer, slow, melodic, bits of Hip Hop, RnB and Soul.
