JAM ACROSS & EXHIBITION BATTLE invites you to its third edition! The event starts with a small warm-up jam where we’ll groove to house music. This is followed by an exhibition battle – four house dancers meet and engage in a non-judged exchange. It’s all about the energy of the moment and connecting with the people around us. Afterwards, we use the experience of the exchange in the previous Exhibition Battle as an inspiration for the following two hours. We want to dance, groove and have fun together! House dance is a freestyle and social dance that emerged in the late 70s and early 80s in the African-American and queer communities of New York and Chicago. House combines a wide variety of movement cultures from tap, jazz and Latin dance to hip hop, breaking and martial arts. The exhibition battle is followed by a jam, a moment of free encounter between house dancers and all other people who enjoy moving to this music. The audience is invited to take part in this atmosphere by dancing or just watching. The jam is organised and curated by Tatjana Mahlke.
