Jazz & House Workshop

Friday to Sunday, July 11-13, 2025

Featuring Raoul Wilke

Raoul is a seasoned dancer of many years and styles from Toronto, Canada and has been a feature instructor in events such as Vernacular Spectacular in Montreal. We are inviting him to Edmonton this weekend to share his knowledge, skills, and perspectives on House and Jazz dance. As originally a house dancer, then trained by masters & legends in jazz, he approaches jazz dance in an awesome way. Likewise, with his influences in jazz, his House dancing is over the top!
