Dance is for Everybody Virtual Workshop

Arts for All – Virtual Workshop- Dance is for Everybody

This dance workshop consists of two sections: lyrical and jazz. In the lyrical portion, dancers are given step-by-step instructions but also have the opportunity to self-choreograph and improvise. This helps to build confidence through being a part of the creative process. The jazz portion of the workshop involves learning about isolating different body parts, changing dynamics by learning about sharp versus flowing movements, and practicing these skills through set choreography.

Vocabulary:

Lyrical – a style of dance where you create moves to fit the words of a song; sometimes this word is also used to describe Contemporary dance

Jazz – a style of dance that has sharp movements and often involves isolating different parts of the body
