Class Experience

This class is a live web based jazz class that will focus on technical teachings, guided choreography and creative movement/improvisation. 

Class Flow
---------------
1. Attendance, introduction to students and classmates.
2. Full body stretch.
3. Introduction to technical steps.
4. Jazz combination that incorporates technical steps.
5. Choreography based on the technical jazz combination to create a short dance.
6. Performance.
7. Cool down.

Students will be introduced to jazz dance terminology, educated on what it means and how to properly present it in the jazz form. They will be asked to repeat the terms for proper articulation and then shown and guided through the presentation of each term.

Dance Combination Moves:
--------------------------------------------
This portion of the class combines the terminology and the dance moves to create dance sentences. Repetition of the dance moves will help exercise to help their memorization (muscle memory); the major key to developing a dance. We will practice each term 2 to 3 times. (more if necessary).

Creative Movement
-----------------------------------------------------
Students will be encouraged to explore! They will be guided through movements such as "sway your arms like waves in the ocean" or asked to "make their fingers come alive using jazz hands". This is the section that opens their minds and encourages them to do a little of their own choreography. 

Performance
---------------------
Students will get to share their creative movements and then "perform" together as a class.

There are no materials required for this class.

There is no time set aside for questions or comments, however, they are encouraged to speak up and are welcome to express their thoughts and ideas during class as each student can benefit from another. Students do not need to have any previous experiences or knowledge as the class structure is the perfect introduction and reminder to patters the "dancey" way!
Learning Goals
The goal is that students will learn rhythm and musicality and increase their coordination, muscle memorization and spatial awareness.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Dance has so many things to offer and I can appreciate how much I was able to incorporated in to my real life. I am grateful to have learned life skills and lessons, such as the importance of relationships, commitment, exercise, challenges, integrity, sportsmanship, and so much more. I believe that everyone can benefit from dance. It has a way of encouraging individuality, and I do my best to provide tools and knowledge students need to explore their individuality and the art within through movement. I humbly admit I have never been injured in my dance career and that I support and believe it is due to technique and the proper ways to present movement; all of which I pour into my students.
