Beautifull videos, beautifull choreos!! Ive been dancing for so many years and it´s hard for me to find something I like, nowadays everyone want to be original, and they loose the esence generally (in my opinion). I wonder if you know Noemi Cohelo over there, shes a great modern-jazz teacher in Argentina and I know she used to dance and teach in France when she was young.... ??

I might be teaching again there in september 2010

i think this is a contemporary dance cos i learn contemp its dance exactly like all the video does. And jazz is not like this ^^

[Offjazz]

Ok my friend

so tell me then what's jazz dance is for you ???

[JJboy1992]

This is NOT jazz!. This IS contemporary/lyrical. IF one thing annoys me it is that of labelling routines and how people label them. Jazz is either two things, 1. Showie or broadway jazz or 2. in your face, high tempo jazz. Flash dance is a perfect example of jazz with the hard, strong movements.....this routine on this video is not jazz. OFFJAZZ get it right next time please :)!

hallo my friend

I dont agree with you, jazz is life, pure freedom, this routine is not contemporary at all, it does not mean because you have a more sophisticated choreographic language that it has to be contemporary.

Jazz is cabaret, show dance,  tit's and ass stuff, but also what I propose. You seem to put the jazz in the commercial field only. Jazz dance has much more resurces then that.

Mr Loringett has more knowlege about jazz in his pinky finger than you can fathom. He is more than correct in calling his works jazz. Anyone with a knowlege of dance history can see that the majority of his movemnt is rooted in techniques of the jazz masters (Giordano, Luigi, etc) and then expounded upon by virtue of his own influences, experience and personal interprative style.

@Offjazz

I see your point and you have a very talented company but this dance rountine is very lyrical. You used maybe about 2 real jazz techniques in this dance so I can see why this could be consider lyrical, you mostly used hand movements. Its nothing wrong with that it still looks nice.
