AUTHENTIC JAZZ (group from scratch) – Gosia Żurawska
Authentic Jazz is a dance that dates back to the 1930s of the Golden Age of Swing. It was created with
the need for expression for the then emerging swing music served by big big bands
jazz. Expression through authentic movement, inspired by what is around – the world of nature and life
everyday.
Usually danced solo, he does not ignore other people on the dance floor;) We notice ourselves
we inspire each other, we interact, and we often dance in a circle.
It is also a great complement to a pair dance – it introduces a lot of flavor to the old one
good Lindy Hop
Authentic Jazz features expressive and dynamic movements as well as slow and
unhurried. You can get tired in it, you can lazily melt in it. You can also melt away
in good fatigue;) Depending on what the music invites us to at the moment and
our body.
During the classes we will draw on the already existing, original alphabet of Authentic Jazz, but also
add more letters to it. To create inspiration from what is already present – outside and inside us
themselves.
We will also draw from the intuitive movement so as to get used to our body as much as possible
feel good in it. Take care of our bodies, make them move and enjoy them!

Gosia sees the greatest beauty of swing dances in the freedom they remind of and the loud laughter they bring out from the dancing Always looking for a balance between joyful
expression, and mindfulness and meditation in dance, she regularly practices intuitive forms of movement, of which GaGa and Kontakt-Improvisation are particularly close to her.
