Lyrical Jazz

Workshop with Emma Valtonen

In this workshop there is a short warm-up with some technical exercises, strength training and yoga-based stretching. The workshop begins with smaller combinations on the floor, which we then expand on together. "Lyrical Jazz" is the perfect way to spend time on the weekend if you're looking for a little challenge, inspiration, good mood and a chance to dance your heart out. Come as you are and let the movement do the rest.
