We are opening up a new course!

We want to invite everyone, regardless of your dance experience, to join us every wednesday at 19:30 to learn some Solo Jazz! This is an African-American dance born in the same context as Lindy Hop, in Haarlem, New York, 1920s and 30s.

We will be working on improvisation and routines, connection to the music, rhythms, developing your personal body control, style and quality of movement. Solo jazz adds new flavors and textures to your dance, helps you work on your rhythm, and practicing it will make you a better dancer, partnered or solo!

We have a free taster coming up on October 8th, 19:30, at our usual place, De Pomhorst. It's free! Everyone is invited, regardless of previous dancing skills

If you end up liking it and want to sign up for the course, fill in the Google Forms available in our stories!
