We are thrilled to announce that Francesca Miles will be curating an OUR HOUSE Mini-Takeover at the Talent House on Saturday 11 July 2026!
From Jazz to Jack traces the lineage of UK club dancing, connecting the dots between the UK’s 1980s jazz-fusion dance movement, and house dance as it exists in 2026.
This is an extremely rare opportunity to learn from two legends of different generations – UK jazz dance pioneer and original member of IDJ, Gary Nurse, and highly respected protagonist of today’s global house dance scene Frankie J.
Before the workshops there’ll be a re-watch of House Dance Forever 2026 battles, followed by an exclusive panel talk with Gary, Frankie J and Clara Bajado – founder of IndaHouse UK and a key figure in the UK Street Dance scene – discussing the evolution of UK club dancing.
