Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 5
Beginner Level
In this weekly dance class we will learn beginner and intermediate Jazz dance and vocabulary, and how to move to different rhythms and beats! Jazz dance is upbeat and high-energy. Class will consist of stretching, conditioning, working on technique using balance and strength, across the floor combinations and more. We will end each class learning a short combination to refine the skills we worked on in class.

This is a structured class that will follow a similar format every week:

The first 10 minutes of class is dedicated to students arrival and Share Time. Share Time is an opportunity for students to chat with one another (in a guided format) so they can meet their classmates that they will be dancing with and make friends!

1. Class will start with a follow along warm-up both standing and on the ground
2. Next, we will learn Jazz dance technique which utilizes both upper and lower body coordination, center movements and across the floor combinations.  In every class we will always start our technique section with plié and tendu, followed by new movements all while dancing to upbeat music! 
3. Class will end with a short Jazz combination utilizing the movements we worked on throughout class

*Music used will be upbeat kid-friendly favorites

No prior knowledge of dance is expected or necessary, beginners welcome! If you have taken a dance class before, that's great too, this class is geared towards the beginner and intermediate students. I will demonstrate all movement, breaking things down step by step so all students can be set up for success and have fun together.

*I lead my classes with kindness, structure, and encourage students to reach their full potential. Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Since Jazz dance is a physical activity, it is recommended there be adult supervision throughout class as there is always a level of risk and injury that can occur with any physical activity. Please have a space cleared of debris and clutter (minimum 4X4 ft square) so your learner can move about freely and safely. Having a water bottle or water near is important in case your learner gets thirsty during class (we will take a short, designated water break during class). Safety is my #1 priority as a teacher, so let's make sure your learner is in a safe environment so we can have fun dancing together!
Supply List
You should be in a space cleared from clutter and debris so it is safe to move about freely. Bring some water or a water bottle in case you get thirsty! Dance clothes that are comfortable to move in as well as dance shoes, socks or bare feet is fine.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
