Details

Formed in 1996 by one of Britain's foremost colleges for the performing arts, London Studio Centre's Jazz Dance Company provides performing and touring experience for its final year students specialising in Jazz Theatre Dance. Many members of the company have had extensive professional experience in the commercial theatre. This exciting young company makes a welcome return visit, with a vibrant programme of works encompassing modern street dance, the rhythmic complexity of tap, the "razzle dazzle" of musical theatre and the sensuality and lyricism of contemporary jazz. Leading choreographers from today's dance and theatre scene include Darren Charles, David Leighton, Sam McAvoy, Katie Pearson, Paul Roberts, Paul Robinson and Gareth Walker. The influence of jazz in musical theatre is demonstrated in an exuberant number staged by choreographer Gary Lloyd and West End musical director, John Rigby.
