El laboratorio de danza Giant Steps es una serie de talleres de baile donde reflexionamos sobre qué es el baile jazz ahora. ¿Se puede bailar la actual música de “jazz"?
Estas clases semanales de 2 horas incluyen técnicas de swing, musicalidad bebop y estilos underground de UK Jazz. Situamos las tradiciones de danza en una perspectiva contemporánea. Más tu creatividad!
Alina nos acercará los estilos undergrounds del American Bebop de la década de 1940, así como el lenguaje de la danza del jazz del Reino Unido (estilo Brothers-in-Jazz del bebop) y Fusion (IDJ, Jazzcotech), originada en las pistas de baile alternativas de los clubs jazz de Londres en el Años 80.
Descubrirás cómo improvisar con ritmos y frases de jazz más complicados, y aprenderás a acelerar tu baile al mismo tiempo de una manera fácil y elegante.
Bailaremos con las mejores melodías de jazz clásico y contemporáneo. Y por clásico no nos referimos solo al swing. ;)
Nivel: abierto con la experiencia previa de cualquier estilo de baile.

Giant Steps dance lab is the space free of genres, tags and cliches. To the contrary, here we appreciate dance cultures and educate our body and mind to respect music-movement connection, working with intertexts of blues, swing, bebop and UK jazz, putting them into a perspective of contemporaneity. We learn and relearn the ways to move and improvise to contemporary what is called "jazz" music.
Welcome to the playground!
Level: open with a previous experience in any movement/dance style.
Kyiv born, Barcelona based, Alina Sokulska is an international dance artist, choreographer, performer, instructor and researcher.
Through the inspiration, deep research and more than 12 years of practice of jazz, social & urban dances, in a mix with contemporary dance techniques and movement research concepts, Alina's style crystallized as one with strong presence of footwork, body isolations, sophisticated musicality & abstract storytelling. Her improvisation approach to dance has formed out from her experience of collaborating with jazz musicians and performing with improvisational music live, with her dance language getting influenced and shaped by its structures & principles.
Currently Alina is collaborating with the top dance and music events, music bands, working on experimental performance scenic pieces, as well as sharing her methodology with her group Giant Steps for professional and amateur dancers. As a choreographer, she is refining her craft studying at Conservatori Superior de Dansa (Institut del Teatre) in Barcelona.
Alina is a founder and curator of Evolution Solo Weekend, a festival and a platform for education in social dances, and is currently finishing her doctoral research on performance art at University of Barcelona's Comparative Literature department.
For Alina, dance is a tool, not a purpose. An ephemeral embodiment of the cycles of life, where the body as a dynamic subject, captures a moment that is constantly changing.
