About

The December edition of the Jazz & Dance club series at Koko Jazz Club features Minna Tervamäki.
Minna Tervamäki is a multiple award-winning ballet dancer and an étoile at the Finnish National Ballet. During her over 20-year career she has been seen in almost every principal role of the canon of classical ballet and in numerous productions from some of the most distinguished contemporary dance choreographers. After retiring from the Finnish National Ballet in 2012, she has focussed more and more on productions that combine multiple media or forms of art.
As a choreographer, she debuted in 2005, and she has collaborated over the years with the likes of violinist Pekka Kuusisto, pianist Heini Kärkkäinen, flamenco dancer and choreographer Kaari Martin, accordion artist Kimmo Pohjonen and multi-media artist Marita Liulia. She has been awarded with, among others, Philip Morris Dance Flower Award in 2007, Edvard Fazer Award in 2000 and Imatra Ballet Gala award in 2009....
