In jazz dance, the dancers will utilize movements such as turns, leaps and isolations, while also focusing on jazz technique, jazz terminology, strength and flexibility. You can find jazz dance in Broadway shows, music videos, awards shows, and on many reality dance television shows. Famous jazz dancers and choreographers include Luigi, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and Gus Giordano.
Dancers ages 7 - 11 begin class with stretch, conditioning and isolated movements. They continue to work on flexibility, balance, and strengthen technique. Dancers in Jazz A/B will use the movements and steps learned to create fun combinations set to upbeat music.
