Jazz

Jazz is a varied dance style, consisting of unique moves depending on a specific style and/or era of jazz. Predominantly, jazz includes learning and using technique from classical training such as pirouettes and turns, kicks and jumps. 

Our classes include a mix of traditional jazz through to the modern-funk styles of today.

Jazz is a fun and technical dance style that relies heavily on the teacher’s individual style, originality and improvisation, as jazz dancers incorporate different styles into their own expression of the dance.

Jazz dancing often uses bold, dramatic body movements, including body isolations and contractions.

Jazz combines traditional jazz dance exercises such as leaps, turns, runs and kicks with current music.  We have classes suitable for absolute beginners through to advanced level students.  

We offer various streams of Jazz including, Broadway Jazz, Commercial Jazz, “Sexy Street” Jazz, and Lyrical Jazz.  As well as your traditional Jazz Dance Class. 

The main difference between all of them being primarily the music, and the stylistic expression of the individual teacher.   

If you are new to dance, we highly suggest starting in our Dance Basics Course to learn the foundations and technique of Jazz dance.

After completing a term or so of Dance Basics you will find that you will have the confidence and understanding of the basic technique needed to participate in other Jazz styles.
