Dancing Events in Katoomba

A high-style movement class inspired by the legendary aesthetics of Bob Fosse and the golden era of Broadway. This course focuses on the distinctive 'Fosse' vocabulary, emphasizing precision, isolation, and the subtle power of the minimalist gesture. We dive into the technical foundations of cabaret jazz, exploring the signature styles of the 1960s and 70s. You will work on the specific posture and gait of the style: the turned-in knees, the rolled shoulders, and the intentional use of hands and hats. We explore the psychology of the performance, focusing on the internal focus and quiet confidence required to command the stage. Cabaret Jazz invites you to find strength in control and detail. Borrowing from classical jazz and stagecraft, our choreography focuses on sharp transitions, syncopated rhythms, and the 'cool' composure of a seasoned artiste. This is about character and presence—learning to move in a way that feels sharp and authentic to you. The focus is on the execution and style of the movement. This is a supportive body positive space that welcomes dancers of all genders, identities, and backgrounds. We celebrate the theatrical glamour of the past while fostering a modern environment of empowerment and embodied strength. Suitable for beginner to intermediate dancers with some prior movement experience.
