Join Rhythmically Speaking for our new evening jazz class offering!
MoveTogethers are our weekly company class of sorts, titled as such to reflect their collaborative nature in which we improvise and create together in addition to moving through material from RS Artistic and Executive Director Erinn Liebhard and guest artists, including the choreographers for our August show The Cohort 2022: Stage. Don’t miss your chance to take class from visiting artists Kathleen Doherty (Halifax, NS Canada) and Laura Ann Smyth (Los Angeles, CA) – selected from a wide pool of applicants to set work for our summer show, these artists have unique perspectives on jazz that they are excited to share with you!
While we’ve been holding MoveTogethers for our company for a couple of years now, we are excited to open them up to the public this summer so pre-professional and professional dancers in our community can join in the jazz! Our approach (and that of the artists we select to work with us) to jazz emphasizes the elements of groove, interaction and improvisation that we see as present within all American social dance styles, honors the African diasporic roots of the form, and is driven by jazz music.
Each class is just $10.00, and this first session of open MoveTogethers runs Wednesdays from 5:30-7:00pm at the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis, through August 3. As space is limited, pre-registration is suggested but not required!
To pre-register, hop over to our Venmo and pay the $10.00 class fee.
We hope to see you there!
