Jazz

Level 1 - 5

Cut loose to fast-paced and high energy dance with upbeat music in jazz. Combining African-American rhythms and movements with elements from tap, ballet, and Latin dance influence, jazz dance evolved from social dance to theatrical dance from the 1920s to the 1950s. It is a beautiful blend of different genres and musical styles.

We start class off with jazz barre and core strengthening, then move on to the center for isolations and center combinations, including floor work. Then progressing on two combinations across the floor, “Chassee, axel jump, slide, roll!” Jazz is fun!
