2025 Winning Works | Shota Miyoshi's 'Jive Five'

Jive Five | A World Premiere by Shota Miyoshi

This piece is deeply inspired by everything that Shota worked with while trying to find a new harmony of how classical ballet collaborates with jazz.

A Glimpse into Rehearsal

Shota, our local, Chicago-land choreographer, created his new work with our Conservatory students. He worked with them from November 2024 to March 2025, immersing them in his choreographic experience and exposing them to jazz, a genre of dance that is not their dominate style.
