Jazz Dance

Course with Joseph P. Cooksey

The basis for Joseph P. Cooksey's jazz style is the “jazz schools” of Luigi, Matt Mattox and José Meier. Joseph combines elements of these pioneers of jazz with principles of modern dance and various ethnic dance techniques. Exercises on isolation, rhythm and movement technique quickly lay a foundation for not only mindful physical training, but also support for natural movement abilities and to develop the feeling of dancing.
