Denver, CO (1888PressRelease)
December 31, 2008 - Colorado - JigTV, a social network and online community where users can watch dance videos taught by master choreographers for only $9.99 per month, offers classes in contemporary dance led by several well known choreographers, including Travis Wall of "So You Think You Can Dance?" fame.
Contemporary dance isn't so much a technique as it is a mindset. It emphasizes exposure to many different techniques to ensure the dancer's versatility, making it the perfect candidate to be offered through JigTV's online dance class format. Jason Parsons, one of the choreographers who offers classes on JigTV, and who has performed all around the world and with artists such as Diana King and Celine Dion, says "I think the kind of dancer I love is one that can dabble in everything because that's how he was trained, so he can wear a lot of different hats. I think that's a great dancer." Through JigTV, members can gain the experience they need in many different styles, as well as take classes with professional dancers and choreographers that specialize in contemporary dance.
Some of these famous dancers and choreographers include:
Travis Wall, competitor in the 2006 season of "So You Think You Can Dance?" and choreographer in the 2007 season, for which he won an Emmy for Outstanding Choreography.
Mandy Moore, who has danced on several television shows and commercials, as well as in the movie "A Time For Dancing." She was also the dance instructor for US Olympic gymnast Chris Waller.
Erica Sobol, the founder and artistic director of collidEdance, an ever-evolving professional dance company dedicated to blurring the line between dance and theater.
JigTV also grants users unique insight into the lives of these and other professional dancers, including Dee Casparay and Nina McNeely through interviews and frequently updated video blogs.
