Performance Projects JLDance

Are you interested in * Performing in salsa/mambo/fusion? * Creating a choreography or part of choreography, and performing? * Solo, with a dance partner, or with a friend or two? After taking a break from show teams that we had during many years (such as "JLMambo"), we have decided to offer a new concept for those who are interested in performing in salsa. We want to encourage salseras, salseros and students of dance to take more initiatives for creating a show and have more freedom and responsibility. This way you will learn more about the creative process. There are many elements to preparing a show and it is your choice where you need/want most help from us: * Choosing music and how to work with it * Ways of putting together a choreography (or using one of our already existing ones, or choreography material from some of the classes) *Training: training should always be the baseline and rehearsals should not replace dance training in class: If we know your goals we can better help you work towards these also while you train in the regular classes. We also recommend terminskort as a way to maintain baseline training. *Rehearsing (where you drill the choreography) * How to improve, how to work towards the next level *Costumes (there are many options and it doesn t have to be expensive) CREATIVITY AND DIVERSITY Our aim is to support each individuals own creativity and expression while giving guidance that improves both the process and the result. We believe in creativity and artistry. This is a good starting point. The performance doesn ´t have to be perfect but the work and effort is needed. SUPPORTIVE SPACE FOR PERFORMANCE Our first hand performing platform will be our socials on Sundays during the spring term (about once per month). The first performance works as great feedback that hopefully increases your motivation to keep working on the show (and you dance training in general of course)! CLASSES AND TRAINING *The structure of our classes offers a great platform for training. Both preparing the body, conditioning and technique, AND material that can be used. *We have a few classes that also focus more on the show elements: "Partnerwork inriktning show" (new class!) and "Fusion" salsa on2. For example, Fusion class builds up to a choreography that can be used for performance. * Our class schedule includes (except for the regular partnerwork and shines), Barre, Flexibility, Floorwork, Body Movement, Armwork, Fusion etc : if you train this way you will have a much broader skills and choices while preparing a performance! REHEARSALS AND PREPARING A SHOW On top of the technique training, conditioning and dance training, you need to rehearse for choreography. If you do the continuous baseline training it will show in your rehearsals! The rehearsals will be much easier and your body more prepared. You can choose to do solo show, or a show with a friend/a few friends or in couple/partnerwork. You take the main responsibility for rehearsing yourself. We offer guidance and coaching or help in creating/putting togheter/polishing the choreography. In this way you can choose how much work you put in on your own and how much help you want to take from us. For more experienced dancers we encourage that you try creating a choreography yourself and maybe take help from us in form of coaching. Both creating choreography, training and rehearsing and preparing a show is a lot of work but you will learn a lot! We also have suggestions how to make the project realistic depending on how much time and effort you can put in. PERFORMANCE PROJECTS ALTERNATIVES There are several alternatives depending on how experiences you are, how much work you can put in, if you have partner/s or not, and depending on your situation. 1. If you have "Terminskort Total" You can use choreography from classes, or from previous term, or some of our older choreographies for example JLMambo choreography. You will let us know what you want to do and we will discuss a realistic project. You train in class, but rehearse on your own. During the process you get 2 sessions of 30 min coaching with Leo or Jojo (or both). These are included in terminskort. If you need and want more coaching there will be a special deal for coaching for those with terminskort . 2. If you are attending the class "Fusion" (salsa/mambo solo) You can do a show using the class choreography. When we know you are in the performance project we will keep this in mind in trainings in class. Then you choose if you want to have more help from us exept the class time or if you want to prepare on your own or with a friend. If you want more individual time with us you can use the "performance project coaching 600kr/hour (that can also be split with a friend or two. ) 3. If you have a partner and you both are attending the class "partnerwork inriktning show", you can use the class material. 4: OTHER OPTIONS: COACHING AND PRIVATES If you dont do any of the previous alternatives and we have time, there is still possibility to put togheter a show with our help through packade of private lessons and/or coaching. If you want a whole choreography made just for you we can prepare choreography for you (this process will be in form of private classes) “Coaching/choreography” 5 hours 3000 kr (600 kr/hour). Can be split by people in the same project. Hours can also be split in different ways depending what is most effective at the moment ( 30 /60/90 min). Privates normal 850 kr/hour.
