JazzJazz dance is an exploration of style and presentation. Being more performance-based, one might see jazz dance on Broadway or in a music video.
Classes emphasize musicality, body alignment, conditioning, stretch and strengthening, rhythm and stylization, and fun and innovative choreography. |

All of our Jazz classes begin with level 1
(even when a dancer moves up grade levels)
Level 1
Introduces dancers to Jazz and the essential technical skills (i.e., isolations, Jazz walks, chaînés turns, single pirouettes, jetés, and battements). Builds dancers' style and confidence while working on musicality and the ability to pick up choreography and connect steps and skills with fun, upbeat music.
Level 2An introduction to Jazz; these classes focus on upbeat tempo choreography and developing technique. Dancers will utilize basic jazz techniques while developing the ability to pick up movements while staying in control. Dancers must master level 1 technique and be placed in this class by their teacher. |
Level 3Builds on understanding more intricate choreography and fast-paced movement, focusing on developing style and strong technique. Dancers must master all level I and II skills and techniques to enroll in this level with the instructor's placement. |
