Class Experience

We are going to "Move and Groove" in this beginner Jazz Dance class. Class will begin with an energetic warm up and stretch. Movements include jumping jacks and floor stretches.  Possibly working toward splits and straddles.  Basic jazz technique will be mixed with fun current dance moves.  Learners will dance to popular age-appropriate music, such as Kidz Bop and "clean" top hits. By the end of class your leaner will have a part of a fun routine to show off.  No experience necessary, just be ready to move and groove! In all my classes the dancers can have input and ask questions at any time!

Week One: March 8: Warm up, stretch, jazz square, side touch, choreography.
Week Two: March 15: Warm up, stretch, mambos, chase, pivot turn, choreography.
Week Three: March 22: Warm up, stretch, 3 step turn, battement, choreography.
Week Four: March 29: Warm up, stretch, sauté jumps, leaps, choreography.

Parental Guidance

Teacher expertise and credentials

Bachelor's Degree from Manhattanville Colege

I have been teaching all forms of dance for 32 years!  I am a 1991 Summa Cum Laude graduate of Manhattanville College with a minor in Dance.  While there, I focused on Jazz, Ballet, and Modern.  I even performed in the Soviet Union in 1989!  

I opened my dance school at the age of 23 and still love it! I teach all ages Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe and Modern.  My true specialty is Jazz.  I love the energy and unique creativity available though Jazz Dance.

Dance class is more than just "dance".  It teaches grace, poise, discipline and self confidence. All qualities that will benefit a student in all areas of their lives.

I have been happily married for 24 years and have a 19 year old son who is a sophmore at Fairfield University. He even competed in Jazz and Hip Hop until 7th grade when soccer took over!

I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge and love of dance with the Outschool Community.
