Lyrical Jazz (Finnish)

Workshop with Emma Valtonen

Lyyrisessä jazzissa tanssiliikkeet  rakennetaan kuunneltavan musiikin sanoituksiin. Tule mukaan nauttimaan tanssin taianomaisesta maailmasta, jossa kehon liikkeen sekä musiikin yhteinen harmonia luo pehmeän ja lempeän flown.
Tällä workshopilla tehdään myös lyhyt lämmittely, jossa keskitytään keskivartalon aktivoimiseen ja joogasta tuttuihin Venyttelyihin.
