Contemporary Jazz

This course is aimed at young people between the ages of 11 and 20 who are enthusiastic about dance. Iris' dance classes start with an intensive warm-up consisting of various exercises from jazz and modern dance as well as a special focus on solid dance technique, which strengthens and stretches the muscles and develops better body awareness. Iris' dance style is a mixture of large, flowing movements, floor work and improvisation, and often includes a play of balance and off-balance moments. She considers a harmonious connection between dance and music essential, which is reflected in her choreographies. She also considers it important that her students can train in a relaxed atmosphere and, in addition to targeted encouragement in the development of choreographies, have enough room for self-interpretation and their individual development as dancers.
