Lyrical Jazz

Workshop with Emma Valtonen

In this Workshop we will have a short warmup with some technical exercises, strength workout and yoga based stretching. Learning the choreography starts through smaller combinations across the floor, which we then build up together further. "Lyrical jazz choreo" is a perfect way to spend time during the weekend if you are looking for a small challenge, inspiration, good mood and a chance to dance your heart out. Come as you are and let the movement do the rest.
