Jazz dance incorporates ballet principles with modern, stylized movement. This class focuses on stretching, across the floor progressions, center work, leaps and turns, and more. In all exercises, students develop muscle strength, flexibility, and further their jazz technique. Jazz & Technique are complementary classes intended to be taken together. Students will perform a jazz dance in the annual show.
This class will focus on one of the most critical components of dance - flexibility!
