Since its creation in the 1920’s, every following era had a different style of jazz dancing. From the Charleston to Black Bottom, to some of the newest styles like pop, music videos and contemporary. The common subject binding these extremely different styles together is the unstoppable rhythm that comes from its African influences. Weather it’s the music or the dance, Jazz is a fun and fast-moving style that focuses on developing style, and technique.
Our classes start with a thorough warm up that builds foundational jazz moves and strengthens your technique. The combination of stretch and strength can vary between teachers. After the warm up we go across the floor practicing basic jazz steps and working on isolations, across-the-floor exercises, turns, jumps and combinations. The class ends with choreography where sequences are put together to practice musicality and performance skills.
