Thank you to the amazing Laura Toma (La Tresse dance collective, Montreal, latresse.ca) for introducing Miss Jill to Gaga dance technique/movement vocabulary, in a private, master class, this past summer in Montreal. This was a rare opportunity and Miss Jill is looking forward to sharing new ideas and concepts with our dancers very soon! Laura Toma is one of two registered Gaga instructors in all of Canada!
If you are wondering 'What is Gaga?!', please check out the website: www.gagapeople.com. and also take in a viewing of the documentary film titled 'Mr.Gaga', available on Netflix. This film "....tells the story of Ohad Naharin, renowned choreographer and artistic director of the Batsheva dance company, an artistic genius who redefined the language of modern dance."
