Course Details

Jazz is the most popular form of dance in our studio it helps with flexibility, technique and versatility. Students in Modern Jazz learn the JDNZ (Jazz Dance New Zealand) syllabus and/or the BAL (Ballet Australasia Limited) syllabus and work towards examinations, however not every child will enter for exams.

The Jazz syllabus covers a variety of dance styles including jazz, contemporary, modern ballet, hip hop, cabaret and soft shoe. Class length varies according to the age and grade that the dancer is in.

Many students choose to attend 2 Jazz classes per week to help prepare them for exams especially in the senior grades but that is not compulsory.
