Miloteque Jazz-Ballet with Milo Miles

This is a ‘technique class’ which combines Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Latin.

The class is based on a “Jazz-Ballet Syllabus” The Miloteque Syllabus, which Milo Miles created in 2001 and which was used by the Urdang Academy

Each class begins with a slow ballet based warm-up in the centre and an emphasis is placed on strength and stretch: Plie, Tendu, Rond de Jambe and Adage work lasting approx 45-50min.

15-20min is then geared towards diagonal work across the studio with an emphasis on turns, basic Jazz technique and miloteque syllabus.

The remaining 20-25min of class time is spent on choreography. Milo Miles choreographic styles range from contemporary to broadway rather than commercial jazz.

Musical influences include: The Art of Noise, Bliss, Buddha Bar, Chicane, Craig Armstrong, Hed Kandi and musical theatre.
