The “Jazz” dance style covers perhaps the most territory of all. It encompasses a wide variety of other styles. Not to be
confused with the musical genre of “Jazz”, this style of dance is not always performed to “Jazz” music, but can often use the
popular music of today. Combining the basic techniques of ballet with the more modern steps found in Pop and Broadway,
“Jazz” is an upbeat, stylish, and versatile dance form. Our “Jazz” classes include intensive strengthening warm ups, stretching
techniques to elongate and encourage muscle strength, across the floor movements, leaps, turns and center combination work
to fun and upbeat, recognizable music. Our students will have great knowledge of the terminology, a visual change in strength
and flexibility, and a great appreciation for the dance form.
