Jazz
A stylized form of American dance using many styles and rhythms to coordinate, stretch and tone the body. Influential styles in our jazz training include Broadway, Contemporary, Funk and Traditional. We strive to incorporate the styles of Jack Cole, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, Gus Giordano and Luigi. As dancers progress to the advanced level we work to incorporate the styles of today’s great jazz choreographers including Tyce DiOrio, Sonya Tayeh and Brian Friedman.
Jazz class consists of center warm-up, strength & conditioning, across the floor progressions, and choreographed combinations. Grade 1 students studying ballet may take Intro Jazz. Grade 2 students make take Intro Jazz without the requirement of ballet. Grade 3 and up, one hour jazz classes are offered. Ensemble Teams take 1 hour and 30 minute jazz classes. Grade 1 and up
