Víctor Josep Rodrigo‘s jazz dance class is based on exercises using the same technique and rhythm. The body anatomy acquires an importance that is developed over the first part of the class. During the session, the different jazz dance styles are mentioned such as: Dunham, Ailey, Mattox, Fosse, Simonson and many more.
The exercises are choreographed and adapted to music to be able to feel the technical work without forgetting the artistic part, working different styles and jazz rhythms (blues, soul, jazz rock, acid jazz, bossa nova, mambo…). There is also a work of knowledge of the nomenclature of different dance steps that lead to the final part of the choreography.
Els exercicis estan coreografiats i adaptats a la música per a poder sentir el treball tècnic sense oblidar la part artística, treballant estils i ritmes jazzístics (blues, soul, jazz rock, àcid jazz, bossa nova, mambo,…). També hi ha un treball de coneixement de la nomenclatura de diferents passos de dansa que ens porten a la part final de la coreografia.
