Queer Pop! Jazz Funk with Jess Bozzo
Saturday, June 10th 2:45- 4:15pm
@ Berkeley Ballet Theater
FREE as part of Queering Dance Festival
During this jazz funk class, the focus is on feeling your f***ing fantasy baby! Jazz Funk is an industry dance style that pulls influence from all styles of dance--some include, but are not limited to, hip-hop, jazz, and heels. The majority of the class will be spent learning choreography that is rooted in musicality and full out movements that feel powerful/juicy/hot hot hot in the body. We will end class by performing the choreography in small and large groups. This class is a safe and supportive space for you to commit to what feels good in your body and to be perceived in the ways you want to be seen!
