Jazz IS . . .
movents of the body from many dance forms such as ballet, modern, cultural dances, etc. Jazz dance is performed to music that is upbeat and changes with the trends of time. There are many styles to jazz such as show dance, theatre dance, social dance etc. , however all have the same technical base--ballet. Jazz performers wear costumes that reflect the style of the song they are performing to and wear jazz shoes that are made of soft leather and low stable heel.
Jazz classes are for ages 6 through 8 year olds. These classes teach basic jazz techniques and are designed to prepare these students for the street dance classes. All jazz moves are kept "clean" and age appropriate. I use the teaching methods of The American Jazz standard along with works from leading jazz Masters such as Bob Rizzo, Christy Lane, Cathey Roe, and more.
