Continuum Flow Dance Workshop with LaTasha Barnes

Join LaTasha Barnes on a sonic journey exploring the evolution of jazz, from its roots in New Orleans to its present-day expressions, alongside the cultural and musical intentions that have propelled it forward. Through "The Continuum Method," you will learn to move seamlessly between intentions with rhythmic, harmonic, and grounded clarity. This is not a survey or fusion of styles, but a method for curating and choreographing dynamic, authentically musical jazz movement.
