Jazz/Tap 1
Ages 6-8
Grade 1-2
Jazz dance is a very fun, high energy and stylized form of dance. In this class dancers will learn the basic movement, kicks, leaps, and turns. Dancers will also tap into their sassy side and be encouraged to use their funky attitudes from within. They will focus on improving performance quality, and developing rhythms, and patterns. Stretching and strengthening are a big part of the jazz class. Traveling and stage presence are also taught. I love to see dancers taking risks in their movement, smile, and come out of their shell.
Class will be every other week. One hour sessions.

Creative
Ages 12-18
Grades 7-12
Creative class is available as an add-on class. The type of dance is determined by the students. This can be Jazz with creative lighting to Lyrical. Jazz is a very fun, high energy and stylized form of dance. Jazz dance focuses on learning proper dance technique such as isolations of the body, movements, kicks, leaps and turns, improving performance quality and developing complex rhythms and patterns. Lyrical is an expressive genre of dance that focuses on control and fluidity of movement. Heavily focused on technique and terminology, dancers will develop their musicality, advance their performance skills and solidify their ballet/jazz technique. A complete understanding of technique and the ability to express emotions thru movement is necessary to succeed in this style. Students are given the opportunity to express themselves with choreography and building their performance from beginning to end with my guidance.
Class will be every other week. One hour sessions.
