3. COME TO POLIJAZZ COURSE ”INTERPRETATION OF MUSIC AND IMPROVISATION IN PARTNER DANCES”
In February, Dance Association Polijazz will arrange a unique concise course with the theme ”Interpretation of Music and Improvisation in Parter Dances. This partner dance course will focus on improvisation, the interpretation of music and the contact between the partners. These themes are practised with two common partner dances that differ from each other: the one is soft and slow waltz and the other is rhythmic disco dance, bugg. The aim is to learn how to ”colour” dance within the setting provided by a certain dance type or style. In the course, participants vary steps, dance positions, patterns and body use. The aim is to develop the creativity to transfer the mood of the music into a movement.
INTERPRETATION OF MUSIC AND IMPROVISATION IN PARTNER DANCES
- Sat, 4 Feb, 12noon-1.30pm Aalto Hall at Otahalli (http://www.otahalli.fi/index.php?k=9391)

REGISTRATION
We hope that participants have previous dance experience, either from partner or solo dance, as well as the courage to put their own creativity and skills in the game. Previous experience from bugg or slow waltz is not necessary.
