Class Experience

This one time course will introduce dancers to many of the most important steps in Jazz and Musical Theater style dance. We will begin class with a high energy warm up (10-15 min.), where the students will follow along with exercises to help build strength and flexibility. Warm up will also include practice with isolation, weight transfers, and coordination to prepare students for the combinations they will learn later in class. Once our dancers are warmed up we will begin breaking down certain steps every jazz dancer must know, such as jazz walks, pas de bourrée, chassé, pivot turns, pirouettes, etc. Once dancers begin to feel comfortable with their new steps we will piece together a combination to practice and fine tune our new skills. Class will finish with a final performance of our new jazz dance and a cool down. 
This is a very interactive class, as students are required to participate in the dancing in order to gain the most out of the class. Questions are more than welcome, and notes on technique will be given often. No prior dance experience is required to enroll in this course. This class is great for new dancers as well as dancers looking for a review of basic jazz material.
Learning Goals
Students will leave class with a better understanding of basic jazz steps. We will focus on building students ability with isolation, control, locomotor movements, and overall technique and performance.

Parental Guidance
Parental guidance is always suggested when doing physical activity. Please make sure your student is equipped with proper foot where (jazz shoes or flat sneakers, no heals, no slip ons, bare feet not recommended) and clothing (stretchy or breathable, not restricting). Please have water for your student near by as this is a high energy class and we need to stay hydrated. No barre is needed for this class, so allow your student to have a large, clear area to dance in. We will be traveling with our movement and don't want to bump into any furniture.
Supply List

Teacher expertise and credentials
The two things that bring me the most joy in the world are dancing and teaching. That is why I am thrilled to be offering this section here on Outschool. I have been training as a dancer since I was just 3 years old, and have been dancing professionally for the majority of my life. I began teaching dance around 6 years ago to both adults and children, and have been teaching on the Outschool platform since the beginning of 2020. In addition to my expertise in dance and teaching, I have experience in the world of physical therapy to ensure that all my students train in the most healthy and beneficial way.
