Jazz dance is an upbeat style of dance that focuses on technique, energy, and having fun! During this class, students of all levels will be taught the basics of jazz technique. We will be working on building strength and flexibility. Correct body placement will be emphasized and students will be given individualized corrections. At the end of class, students will be given the opportunity to learn from their peers and watch one another perform the choreography. This not only promotes a good team spirit among the class, but helps with choreography retention and correction as well. There will be periodic check-ins throughout class where learners will be given the opportunity to discuss how certain exercises felt on their body. I believe that this is a crucial step in helping students improve their dancing abilities and retaining information. At the end of class, students will leave feeling energized and challenged! After class is over, students are encouraged to film themselves doing the choreography and send it to me via the classroom chat option. I will then send them back personalized corrections. While this is not mandatory, it can be a great way to receive individualized feedback!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am excited to bring dance and movement classes to Outschool. Currently, I still train in all styles of dance 10+ hours every week. I have 9 years of experience dancing and teaching children ages 3-19 years old. I look forward to sharing my passion for teaching and my love of the arts to everyone here on Outschool.
I will be bringing jazz, jazz technique, flexibility, hip hop, jazz funk, contemporary, and improvisation classes to this platform.
In my classes, I emphasize the importance of proper body alignment, technique, and dance fundamentals. I also pride myself in embracing each learners' personal style and unique way of movement. My classes allow for a safe place to express individuality while fostering a connection among learners, all while having fun.
I can't wait to connect with all of you and see you in the classroom.Reviews
