We are excited to be headed back to London with our UPROOTED jazz dance intensive 2024. The course is 4 days this year and runs from May 28th – 31st. We are also lucky to be partnering with the amazing House of Jazz Company – a fantastic jazz dance community based in the UK and run by Canadian Christie Manning.
We have 4 full days with a broad range of jazz dance classes including: African dance, Vernacular/lindy/social jazz dance, tap dance, house, afrobeat, Matt Mattox isolation technique, musical theatre workshops and some special guest workshops to be announced!
Teachers confirmed so far are Jreena Green, Zak Nemorin, Bafana Matea, Alexzandra Sarmiento and Annette Walker.
This year we are adding in community discussion time at the end of each day and between each class. We want to give the students time to ask questions and expand their knowledge and approach to this beautiful art form in a truly safe space.
You can join for 1 day or all 4 – or anything in between! The Early Bird registration form is HERE (Early Bird ends April 27th) and the sizzle reel is HERE
The UPROOTED jazz dance educational mission is to physically explore the historical roots of jazz dance providing a greater context and understanding of where the jazz dance movement originated from and how it has evolved through each decade.
It’s our responsibility to educate our students, and be as informed as possible as teachers, so this art form can live on.
What the students said from 2023…..
“The Uprooted Jazz Dance Workshop was a unique and educational experience. It brought a different style and approach to jazz dance, showing how it is so diverse and expansive. History was explored and honored while bringing new paths and ourselves to the movement….” Miriam Czaja
“I studied A-Level dance in the UK and a section of the course went into the history of jazz. I wish this wealth of an intensive had been available when I was still studying for my exam, as a lot of the theory needed for the exam is provided for you in the Uprooted film as well as the depth of knowledge and experience from great teachers . I recommended the next London intensive to my ex teacher straight away after! It is the perfect complimentary resource for students studying A-level dance and in general, for dancers to move in a different way, understand why they are moving like that, where and who that movement has descended from.” Alice Cooper
“Coming from the U.K. was well worth the trip. During the seven hour flight I was nervous with anticipation. I can guarantee that the intensive was all I expected it to be and more. These teachers, masters of their art, each have a unique style that they imparted upon us. The training that I’ve received from doing this intensive was invaluable…” Tobias RIchards
