Modern Jazz Dance

Course with Colin Sinclair

Colin's modern jazz style consists of precisely placed, fast-paced and sophisticated elements from both areas, modern and jazz dance. He conveys elements of the most important choreographers of modern dance, including Martha Graham, Katherine Dunham and José Limón, and combines them with the vocabulary of jazz dance, consisting, among other things, of polycentric movements, fast footwork and an elegant body line. Colin wants to provide the participants with an atmosphere in which they can forget their everyday stresses, do something good for themselves and express themselves through dance. “You’ll be surprised at what you’re capable of.”
