This is the Classical Jazz Class, which strongly incorporates classical ballet techniques and choreography. Classical jazz emphasizes clean and strong lines originating from the chest and hips. If you have never been exposed to classical dance, it is not a problem as the presented material is designed for students of all levels. The 45-minute class will begin with a warm-up. After this initial stage, your instructor will present a piece of choreography that includes jazz dance techniques such as isolations, turns, and leaps. The instructor will incorporate rhythmically complex and syncopated movements in a friendly manner, allowing even complete beginners to experience true classical jazz. By the end of the class, you will be fully inspired and encouraged to come back for more! Throughout the class, you will receive instruction on how to perform all routine elements. Students will be encouraged to perform this routine segment both with and without the instructor. The presented choreography will be set to classic top jazz songs. As you dance to the music, you will be challenged to develop your performance quality and musicality. Additionally, everyone will have the opportunity to work on improvisation exercises, which will encourage them to explore their own unique style and creativity. After the class, your instructor will suggest taking other classes to further enhance your skills as a dancer and to enjoy all that the school has to offer.
