Jazz Dance Classes
The Benefits of
Jazz Dance
Jazz is a fun, upbeat class with emphasis on coordination, rhythm, body isolations and flexibility. The warm-up and progressions will use classic jazz technique to develop students’ musicality, athleticism, alignment, and performance. Classes emphasize musicality and body alignment, conditioning, stretch and strengthening, rhythm and stylization as well as fun and innovative choreography. Builds dancers’ style and confidence while working on musicality and the ability to pick up choreography and connect steps and skills together with fun, upbeat music.
