Jazz

Students learn the foundation of movement through games, exercise and choreography. Children learn the beginnings of advanced skills such as, Direction, Coordination steps, Travelling movements, Body awareness, and performing as a group. This knowledge of dance is cemented by our exam syllabus (SFD) which is not compulsory, but helps the child to retain 99% of skills learnt each year.

Following on from Junior classes, students progress as skills become more intricate. They learn and understand musicality, strength, flexibility, rhythm, and their repertoire of steps grows to help them grasp and achieve in their dance classes.

The basis of choreography becomes more focussed in these classes as steps become intricate and challenging. With a strong background and the repetition of skills learnt from previous levels, students have the opportunity to perform to fine tune there dancing style.

In jazz contemporary classes many styles of music are explored. The jazz component helps the student with strength and flexibility to be able to grasp the choreography effectively. This class helps the dancer to understand posture and alignment. These classes are open to all abilities.
