A few words about the aims and support of our Junior Dance Company.

It is more than just a dance group – it is a place for creativity, self-expression and community. In a world often characterised by stress and a hectic pace, our company offers young people the opportunity to flourish through dance and to discover and develop their passion for movement.

Why jazz dance?

Jazz dance is a dynamic and expressive dance style that combines elements from various dance genres, including jazz, modern dance, ballet and hip-hop. It is characterised by rhythmic movements, creative choreography and a high degree of expressiveness. Here are some key features of jazz dance:

· Variety of styles: Jazz dance encompasses a wide range of techniques and styles that have evolved over time. These include classic jazz movements, modern interpretations and influences from other dance forms.

· Rhythm and musicality: Jazz dance places great emphasis on rhythm and musicality. Dancers learn to move in harmony with the music and to interpret different musical styles.

· Expression and emotion: Jazz dance enables dancers to express their emotions and tell stories through movement. The choreographies are often highly expressive and invite dancers to bring personal feelings into the performance.

· Technique and body control: A solid technical foundation is required to perform the various movements of jazz dance. This includes jumps, turns, isolated movements of body parts, and complex footwork.

· Creativity: Jazz dance encourages creativity in dancers. Often, dancers develop their own choreographies or reinterpret existing pieces, which allows each dancer’s individual style to shine through.

· Performances: Jazz dance is frequently presented in the form of group or solo performances. Performances are an important part of jazz dance and offer dancers the opportunity to showcase their skills in front of an audience.

· Socialising: Many jazz dance groups foster a strong sense of community among their members. Joint rehearsals, workshops and performances strengthen team spirit and forge friendships.

Overall, jazz dance is a vibrant art form that offers both physical fitness and opportunities for creative expression. It appeals to people of all ages and can be practised both as a hobby and professionally.

Our Goals

· Talent development: We offer regular training sessions, workshops and performances to develop our members’ dancing skills. We place great emphasis on sound training under the guidance of experienced instructors.

· Sense of community: In the Youth Jazz Dance Company, team spirit and friendship are paramount. Joint rehearsals, performances and events strengthen our bond and create unforgettable experiences.

· Creative development: We encourage our dancers to contribute their own ideas and to develop new choreographies together. This not only fosters creativity but also a sense of responsibility for their own work.

· Health and well-being: Dancing is an excellent way to keep fit and relieve stress. Our company values a healthy sense of community where every individual is valued.

· Cultural participation: Through performances at local events, we aim to foster an interest in dance within the community and contribute to cultural diversity.
