Dunham-Informed Jazz Technique

Inspired by the work of Katherine Dunham, dancers will explore Dunham's movement vocabulary often used in Jazz dance as well as traditional modern Jazz motifs and experiment with the two to ultimately train and strengthen the body for a concert Jazz dance movement aesthetic.  For each meeting, a classic Dunham warm-up will be given followed by lively, Dunham-inspired Jazz progressions and combos. Class is open and embraces all levels, yet challenging enough for students who haven't danced for many years in a fun, freeing, and supportive environment. This ongoing class is strongly recommended for those dancers interested in joining the Dunham Jazz Performance Workshop, a special choreography series that ends with a live concert-staged performance presented by Cumbe with option to perform at Cumbe socials and locally produced community events.

Stay tuned for the next Dunham Jazz Performance Workshop series. Dates for the next Dunham Jazz Performance Workshop TO BE ANNOUNCED.

Saturdays | 12pm - 2pm | In Person Only
