The masterclass will include some improvisation exercises and teaching of a piece of choreography from the repertoire of Jacoby&Pronk. The goal of Jacoby&Pronk is to create an innovative fusion of dance, visual arts and fashion. They will perform in the Holland Dance Festival 2012 with a mixed programme, including new work by the choreographer Itzik Galili.
