Class Description

If you are attending your first Jazz dance class, get ready to move!
A good Jazz class explodes with energy. With music styles ranging from hip-hop to show tunes, the beat alone will get you moving. Most Jazz teachers begin with a thorough warm-up, then lead the class in a series of stretching exercises and isolation movements.
Jazz dance combines techniques of classical ballet and modern dance with the current forms of popular dance. Emphasis in Jazz dance is on the importance of energy, rhythmical accuracy, and style. Most jazz teachers will end the class with a short cool-down to help prevent muscle soreness.
