MODERN JAZZ

Description: Jazz dancing has become extremely diverse over the years. For this reason, we separate the classes with Jazz technique being the foundation for jazz dancing (Junior or Senior); “Jazz Funk”, the latest in street dancing going beyond Hip Hop; “Lyrical Jazz”, the smooth & sustained jazz movement which should be taken in conjunction with a Jazz Technique class.
Levels: There are two separate age categories for jazz: Junior for grades 2-8 and Senior for teens and adults. Beginning classes are Level 1 and progress to the most advanced at Level 5. New students with previous training are asked to attend the placement class as described on the front page of this section.
