Solo Jazz Grooves and Body Movement

In this class, we will explore how we to express different rhythms and grooves through various body movements. We will integrate this into our improvisation, as well as into some important steps of the jazz vocabulary. The class will include guided body movement and groove explorations, but will also encourage you to experiment on your own and within the group.

This class is meant for everyone who wants to dive into how to connect their body movement to jazz music. No prior knowledge of jazz steps is required, and those already familiar with solo jazz are welcome to challenge themselves and find new ways of interpreting the steps they know.

These principles are deeply rooted in the history and culture of jazz and the African diaspora. Under the oppressive conditions of slavery and segregation, the reclamation and expression of the body became an important part of Black cultural survival, resistance, and the search for physical, spiritual, and psychological freedom, through both individual expression and connection to the community.

Dates: 29.09.26 – 03.11.26
Time: 18:00 – 19:10
Sessions: 6 × 70 min
Price: 150.– / 110.– CHF (reduced)
