SADTA to introduce workshop with world champion choreographer.
Mitja Popovski is a choreographer of any style you can think of: classical jazz, Lyrical, Broadway Musical, Modern, Tap, Hip hop and especially comedy. His style is a mixture of funk, strength, and individual interpretation, with an emphasis on ''selling'' performance. It is energetic, sensual and sometimes exhausting for the dancers, as he demands pure dedication and allows no ''marking'' in his studio.
Mitja was named IDO (International Dance Organization) Choreographer of the Year 2008. He has won multiple world champion titles in show and tap formation, group and solo as a choreographer and as a dancer for Kazina Dance Company, Ljubljana, Slovenia including Adult Danceshow World Champions- Murder?. He choreographed the modern evening performance 'The Station with his Kazina Dance Company.
He recently choreographed the big stage play Tesla for famous director, Tomaž Pandur and his pandurtheatres.com and he choreographed and directed the modern dance play Waterman for the city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. He is a regular choreographer for Slovenian National Television, for the biggest European Casino, “Perla” in cooperation with Kazina Dance Company and the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre.
He choreographed for the Eurovision Dance Contest (2003 & 2011) and for almost every Major Slovenian Singer in cooperation with National TV and Kazina Dance Company. For the past seven years he has worked as a master teacher for University of Sports, Ljubljana and the Slovenian Dance Association.
He is an international judge for IDO (International Dance Organization) and he is also a member of the show dance and tap dance committees of the IDO. He has taught masterclasses in many countries, including Croatia, Finland, Serbia and Russia.
