This rhythm-intensive approach to teaching jazz is the basis of dancing tap and total body movement in jazz concert dance as well as American musical theatre. Taught to swinging jazz music, the blues and Latin jazz, the course aims to teach students to articulate all parts of the body with rhythmic precision and explosive energy. College credit and professional educator rates are available as well as on-campus housing and meal plan. At 8 p.m. Friday, June 23, the weeklong workshop will culminate with a studio performance of work created by participants in the class as well as dances from the Jump Rhythm Jazz Project. This performance will be held in the Ballroom Studio, Marjorie Ward Marshall Dance Center.
Admission is free.
