Ballet & Jazz Technique

It’s the one-two punch of dance: ballet is the foundation of all dance forms and jazz builds on classic ballet technique. These styles are the foundation of all western dance. You’ll begin at the barre where you’ll perform movement sequences to develop strength, coordination, balance and proper alignment. Then you’ll reinforce your technique through center and across the floor combinations. You’ll cover vocabulary, classical technique, a variety of jumps and turns, innovative choreography, plus you’ll be exposed to a variety of jazz styles from Broadway jazz to lyrical jazz. Class time is devoted to learning jazz technique, as well as funky jazz dance combinations. This is a year-long endeavor that will challenge you and stretch your abilities. Students will be auto-enrolled into the next semester. Full year commitment required; students that enrolled in the fall will be auto-enrolled in the spring semester.

No class March 29th.

***Classes will be held via Zoom until it is safe to meet in person.***
