Description | Rhythmitis uses prearranged materials and the spark of the moment to generate improvisation-based choreography, a co-operation that drives towards skill, rhythm, joy, and a soulful celebration of dance and music. Rhythmitis is an homage to the late jazz dance legend Matt Mattox, and to Tarja Rinne, who has been teaching Mattox technique to generations of Finnish dancers. |
