Let's Do Da Funk!

Hi Dancing Divas!

Are you ready to Jazz up the new year with some BRAND NEW dance perspectives? If you are, here's some good news. I'll be starting my new Best of Jazz 2008 workshop series with effect from Saturday, January 19 and this time, I will be imparting what I know about FUNKY STREET JAZZ to you!

Here's a brief description about my FUNKY STREET JAZZworkshop:-

ABOUT BILL CALHOUN'S FUNKY STREET JAZZ

Also known as Black-Jazz, FUNKY STREET JAZZ (popularised by Afro-Americans) is an energetic dance form involving a juxtapose of fast and intricate footwork including technical spins, jumps and leaps.
Evolving around the period of time that Funk, Latin and Afro-Cuban dance styles started populating the dance world, FUNKY STREET JAZZ , as its name suggests, is fluid as it amalgamates the various cultural influences and is thus not as rigid as classical dance forms such as ballet - and yet, not as “soft” as lyrical Jazz styles.

Bill Calhoun's FUNKY STREET JAZZ workshops are technique-based and are suitable for individuals and professional dancers who are seeking to improve their stamina, flexibility, strength and balance. Workshops are progressive and choreography would incorporate various Jazz styles from Bill's own experiences garnered from the USA and Asia.
