Thursday Solo Jazz Classes in London
Back from 10 September at Steps Studios, Shoreditch — taught by Liane Wergen

Solo Jazz Thursdays are back on Thursday 10 September. That's the first class — after it they run every Thursday, 7–9pm at Steps Studios, taught by Liane Wergen.

If you want to dance on your own two feet rather than with a partner, this is the class to go to. From 10 September Liane runs it every Thursday: rhythm, movement and the joy of jazz dance, for any level — total beginners and experienced dancers in the same room.

New to solo jazz? The first two weeks are for you

10 and 17 September are both given over to solo jazz fundamentals: a bit of theory, footwork, improv technique and some choreography to ease you in. They're aimed at anyone who has wanted to try solo jazz but felt too shy to walk in — and they're just as useful if you're experienced and want to go back to basics.

What a class looks like

Jazzy warm-ups.
Solo jazz steps and their variations.
Improvisation techniques, and challenges for playing with steps.
Rhythm, style and self-expression.
Studying classic clips.
Choreography that pulls the key ideas together.

What to bring: dance shoes and the energy to dance.
