The focus is on improvisation by dancers. The jam offers a platform for networking within the house community and celebrates the diversity of individual styles. These events promote community, allow new talents to be discovered and strengthen the cultural significance of house dance.

Biography
Danny Son
Danny Son is currently living in Frankfurt/Germany. He is one of the founders of the House Roots community, a platform which helps German individuals work on holistic approach to deep house culture. Danny see’s himself as acultural ambassador and an active part of German house dance culture. The first contact with house dance was in 2008 at that time he was trained in all urban dance styles by his first coach Rob LAWRAY. In 2011 he was able to learn from the pioneers of house dance culture for the first time at the SDK Festival. It quickly became clear to him that a certain house dance style, that was influenced by Rabah Mahfoufi from Paris/France, appealed to him. Since then he had taken every opportunity to learn from Rabah, so that he could proudly say that I was a student of his. To this day he has laid the foundation for him for a special interpretation of this dance culture, which Danny tries to represent on an equal footing, the path of „Deep House Dance“.
