SCHOOL DAYS
A Jazz Roots Accademy
School Days is the festival entirely dedicated to Jazz Roots! A whole weekend to study, explore, and celebrate the thousand shades of solo dancing: from rhythm to musicality, passing through improvisation, creativity, and personal expression.
With the idea of going back to the school desks, each teacher will lead a specific "school subject" offering a unique and dedicated focus for every lesson. Each track will thus become a deep dive into a different aspect of solo jazz: rhythm, musicality, vocabulary, improvisation, body awareness, and much more.
In addition to the main workshops, the taster classes will give participants the chance to find new inspiration, challenge themselves, and explore original themes.
And when classes end... the swing doesn't stop! School Days will offer a special evening entirely focused on solo dancing! It will be a unique opportunity to dance solo jazz, connect, experiment, and share the dance floor together all weekend long!
