Guatemalan-born, of Belizian-German
descent, Jennifer Lisette Lopez is
currently a Resident Choreographer for the
Manhattan-based the Harmony Theatre
Company. Beginning in January 2007, she
is offering her amazing dance workshop,
"Afro-Groove," at Bridge for Dance on the
Upper West Side of Manhattan.
She received her B.A. from Columbia
University, and has studied,
choreographed, and performed various
forms of dance all over the world,
including in France, Ireland, and Haiti.
In her Master Class, "Afro-Groove,” she
will teach students fundamentals of Afro-
based dance forms (Haitian, Yoruba,
Congolese, and Senegalais), accompanied
with deep stretches and strengthening
exercises. Students will find the “tribal
beat” of their own bodies, and finish the
class with a choreographed combination
that will integrate these movements.
The choreography will be a melding of the
undulation and release of traditional Afro-
movements with the grace, strength, and
balance of Modern and Jazz. Work from
her last class was featured in the February
3, 2007 installment of Bridge for Dance's
Uptown Performance Series.
SUNDAYS, 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Beginning April 4, 2007
$15 per Class
