classes

Jazz classes are typically offered to students 6 yrs and up, though occasionally a 5-7 year old Jazz class is offered, however, five year old students must have approval to enroll in a full hour jazz class.

Jazz classes include a warm-up, center floor technique, progressions and combination work with a focus on learning not just the steps and skills, but also the associated terminology.

Jazz classes include a focus on body alignment, conditioning, flexibility, rhythm, musicality and style. Students interested in taking Jazz class are encouraged to also enroll in Ballet. Students in Jazz classes learn and perform one Jazz routine in The Show! (our annual recital that takes place every June).
