Learning New Choreography from Wes Veldink, for Europe * ( Part 2) *- Southern Oregon Dance Center

SODC (aka All That Jazz) has had the privilege of being asked to represent the United States youth Contemporary Dance in 5 performance tours of Austria, Europe with the TANZSOMMER dance concert series: first in 2003 (when we were "discovered" at a regional dance competition in Oregon by a Tanzsommer Rep), then again in 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2020. Unfortunately, our 2020 performance tour was canceled due to the unfounded mandates imposed on the world at that time :-( ..... BUT.... watch as our 2015 Production dancers (ages 14-17) learn a piece from the Master professional Contemporary choreographer himself, Wes Veldink.Show more

Here in Part 2, watch the ensemble perform - to music - the finished choreography they just learned in an 8-hour / two-day session with Wes. It was a show-stopper in Europe and garnished stomping (the Austrian tradition to show the highest honor to performers on stage) and standing ovations at the close of the show! Priceless.
