In this Beginning Jazz Dance class your dancer will move and groove!  Being a multi-day class we are able to keep progressing each week. Each class begins with your learner following a warmup that includes active stretching both standing as well as on the floor. We will work up to splits and straddles. 

 Jazz technique movements will then be taught. Basic moves such as Isolations, Jazz Square, Pivot Turn, 3-Step Turn, Side Touch, Mambos, Scissors, Chase, Kick Ballchange, Pirouettes and Battement. Each week new technique will be added on and made more difficult. More difficulty includes change of tempo and adding different arm movements. 

 Every class concludes with fun choreography which puts together what has been taught in class. The choreography will be added onto every week so by the end of the 8-week session the dancers will have a wonderful routine to show off!  Only age-appropriate music will be used. Also, only age-appropriate movements will be taught.  

  Jazz Dance is a wonderful dance style for this age group.  It is both structured and technical, but in a fun way.  My class is always very positive and supportive of new dancers.  Mics need to be muted for music clarity purposes, but dancers can ask questions and interact with me at any time.  I want my dancers/learners to leave class feeling proud of themselves!

No experience necessary, just be ready to move and groove!
