About this class

Jazz is a dance style that combines elements of ballet, modern, and African-based movement, focusing on rhythm, isolations, and expressive, dynamic movement. In Jazz I, students are introduced to the fundamentals of jazz dance, including basic steps, rhythm, and body isolations. This beginner-level class focuses on building coordination, strength, and musicality through warm-ups, simple combinations, and fun choreography. This class is a great starting point for young dancers who want to learn a dynamic and engaging style of dance.
