Jazz

Jazz classes explore traditional, Broadway, and contemporary styles in a fun, energetic atmosphere. Classes begin with a warm-up with emphasis on technique, flexibility, coordination, and strength, followed by progressions across the floor, center work, and combinations. Beginner students learn fundamental jazz steps and basic vocabulary through across the floor exercises and simple combinations. Intermediate classes focus on body placement and proper technique, stretching, and development of skills. Advanced classes emphasize quality of movement in addition to perfecting technique, performance skills, and varied styles.
