At the centre of JazzDayz Bamberg stands its founder, choreographer, and driving creative force — Melanie Day. As a dancer, teacher, and artistic director, Melanie brings a wealth of international experience from stages across Europe, New York, and London. Her vision for JazzDayz has always been clear: to create a warm, inspiring community where dancers of all levels can connect, learn, and grow.

“Jazzdayz Bamberg is more than just dance to me – it’s a warm community where we grow together. The wonderful atmosphere and special vibe are felt in every session, led by inspiring, international instructors and artists who share their deep knowledge with passion with all of us. Real connections are forged here, new sides of ourselves are discovered, and we experience how jazz dance lives and breathes in all its diverse facets.”

Under Melanie’s guidance, JazzDayz Bamberg has evolved into a biannual highlight for dancers from across Europe. Each edition celebrates the versatility of jazz — from theatre and contemporary influences to modern jazz performance. What makes JazzDayz special is its blend of artistry, technique, and community spirit — a safe space where dancers receive honest feedback, motivation, and encouragement.

As JazzDayz returns for its fourth year in February 2026, Melanie continues to lead with heart, artistry, and vision — empowering dancers to explore, express, and connect through the joy of jazz.
