Jazz Classic

Course with Colin Sinclair

In Jazz Classic, Colin joins jazz dance principles, among them polycentric movements, fast footwork and an elegant body line, with principles derived from classical ballet. The course focuses on learning the basics and the rich movement variations that arise from the combination of both dance styles as well as on the fun of working on choreographies – perfectly prepared by a good warm-up and a differentiated course structure.
Colin wants to create an atmosphere for the participants in which they can forget their everyday stress, where they can be good to themselves and where they can express themselves through dance. “You will be surprised by what you are capable of.”
