Gentle jazz

Workshop with Bridget Quinn Petzold

Gentle Jazz is a slightly gentler form of jazz dance. The workshop is aimed at slightly more mature dancers who do not want to train in courses with predominantly very young participants or who want to get back into it gently after a dance break. All exercises and movements can be adapted to the individual needs of the participant. Gentle Jazz encompasses all of the jazz dance styles that Bridget has cultivated in her over 40 years of experience as a teacher, dancer and choreographer. Bridget brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, wisdom and compassion to her teaching. Bridget wants dancers to see this class as a welcome back to their dance classes.
