Dance styles at JuN

Dance is an evolution and moves through culture and time. Today we really can see how many branches of Jazz Dance, such as Tap, Broadway Jazz, Classical Jazz, Modern Jazz, Latin Jazz and Solo Jazz, developed from dances of traditional African cultures. Of course focusing on authentic Jazz, but building on last years African Roots feature, we will be giving you a taste of Hip-Hop; a dance that evolved from African roots and jazz. On top of this, we’ll be diving into a fusion of movement and sound, building musicality and connecting our bodies to the rhythm with an introduction to Body Percussion.Jump Up North wants to create space for everyone to try out these styles and learn more about the connections between them. This edition’s classes will be in Authentic Jazz, Hip-Hop and Body Percussion.
