Jazz Workshop with Dollie Henry (February 2021)

On Saturday 27th February, we had the wonderful opportunity to have a class taught by renowned Jazz artist Dollie Henry, who founded the dance company BOP and has also performed on the West End, in theatre plays, TV and film. Dollie led a Jazz warmup, to classic Jazz music, and taught us some choreography to music by Duke Ellington. We focussed on making our movements sharp and clean, like they would be on the West End stage and Dollie encouraged us to imagine being on stage to really help with our performance, despite being in our own homes. Dollie then chatted to us about her experiences as a dancer and founding her own company, which was so inspiring and encouraging. It was amazing to learn from Dollie’s extensive expertise and she was so full of energy, it would be wonderful to have her for another class!
