The Berlinettes – NEW round starts 2nd of October!
About Berlinettes
The Berlinettes is a performance group created by Catarina Pinto and Victoria Kreiner in Berlin in the end of 2017. Since then they performed in many stages but now they want to expand themselves as a team. It is focused in authentic swing and jazz age dances with choreography designed specially for female dancers. Its mission is to preserve, nature and promote jazz music and its authentic dances.
What is special about this dance?
The most important part of Authentic Jazz Dance is individuality. Each Jazz dancer is different and rhythm is essential in Authentic Jazz Dance. The rhythm is more important than movements you do. There is no definitive way to do movements in Authentic Jazz, but the rhythm has to be consistent.
Everything should be done to the music in Jazz dancing. When you are listening and dancing to Swing music, you have a dialogue with music. You communicate with music and you become a part of the orchestra as an instrument.
Bio Instructors
Catarina and Victoria are passionate and specialist in several swing styles but their favourite activity is to perform in a team.
Catarina is natural from Lisbon where she discovered swing dance. She studied and worked as a Civil Engineer/Architect but always had a strong connection with jazz music and vintage glamour style. Since she moved to Berlin, 5 years ago, she has been performing, teaching and inspiring many dancers on the biggest stages of the city.
Victoria was born and raised in Buenos Aires where she studied and became an actress. She has always loved to dance and got inspired by different styles as modern jazz, contemporary, tango and later swing. Berlin became her performance home town, where she can express herself through the dance.
Requirements?
You try to dance swing as much as possible. You have experience and a good vocabulary in several swing dances and want to focus on your solo jazz skills. You know the concept of phrasing, you know the lines and body posture, as well as the fundamentals of solo jazz. You have been dancing regularly at least for one year. If you feel singing with your body you might be ready for this great experience absorbing more knowledge about footwork technique, rhythm expression and developing your performing skills.
Our goals
Our concept is built on 3 pillars:
The Outfits and shoes will be part of this experience and every choreography will have a specific and particular one, which will be shown in the first session.
Dates and location.
Auditions will be 2nd & 9th of October and rehearsals will start afterwards for a period of about 3 months before we are ready to perform.
Classes will take place every Tuesday from 20:30 to 22:00 pm. In Zirkus Zack – Revaler Str. 99, 10245 Berlin.
The first performance will take place at the Christmas Ball Swing Patrol Berlin in the beginning of December.
