If you add to your recipe some lindy hoppers, a pinch of tap dancers, a slurp of break dancers, a cup of great musician, and a handful of cool DJs you obtain a great delicious party called Brothers in Jazz. We like to share the same dancefloor and mutually inspire us, because we learn from each other and inspire each other, so our own dance gets enriched. These dance styles are branches of the same tree, different expressions of the same culture. We want to inspire each other but not fuse with each other, this is not a fusion event. You will have classes of the different styles and during the parties we will put a mix of music to share among the communities and dance as much as we can. We aim to improve our dance by improving our dancing in general. Inspire us not only by what we have in front but also from what we have next to us. To receive the ads as we launch you can like on our Facebook page and follow us on instagram. Meanwhile, if you are thinking about signing up, we tell you that you must haver a profile on our website, for this you can register here. Soon we will tell you much more, but for the moment save the date!
