JAZZ
PRE-BALLET/JAZZ/TAP COMBO with Jessica 5-7 yrs old
An introduction to these basics using methods designed for young imaginative minds and bodies. Students are given the opportunity to move, stretch, and improve self-confidence while being introduced to basic ballet and tap concepts, body alignment, posture, balance, motor skills, as well as develop self-expression through creative movement. These classes emphasize proper placement, vocabulary, etiquette, as well as jazz, tap and ballet-based improvisation.
JAZZ I with Leah 8 yrs old & up
Through center warm-ups, across the floor and various combinations, set to a variety of fun, upbeat music, students will explore jazz, by learning fundamental steps and stylization.
JAZZ II with Leah
This fun, high-energy class builds on the foundation set in Jazz I, placing a stronger focus on form, alignment, core strength, flexibility and physical conditioning at an intermediate level.
JAZZ III with Leah
Jazz III requires the foundational skills established in JAZZ I and II. A prior understanding of technique, vocabulary and musicality will allow dancers in Jazz III to focus on their growth in these areas. Dancers will be introduced to more advanced combinations across the floor and rhythmically challenging choreography to a variety of musical theatre and jazz songs.
