Whilst JATA aims to equip current and future practitioners of the theatre arts with all the necessary skills required of the professional “triple threat” performer, all our students experience the outstanding benefits of training in the arts – enhanced self-esteem and confidence, improved social skills as well as strengthened problem-solving and generative thinking abilities.
All our instructors are accredited teachers and/or industry professionals with unsurpassable knowledge and experience. This provides students not only with a strong technique as well as up-to-date access to developing trends, but also affords them a solid network should they be in, or choose to enter, the entertainment industry.
Jazz is a technical dance form that focuses on the use of performance and storytelling. Jazz often embodies elements of ballet and contemporary and is strongly rooted in modern dance techniques.
While strongly influenced by classical ballet, the movement of modern dance is more fluid and contains dynamic highlights and tricks of jazz dance, including isolations, kicks, and leaps; alternately, many movements are weighted and close to the earth.
Jazz is the ideal way to develop well-rounded dance skills. Lively, energetic, and creatively diverse, Jazz combines styles and techniques from a variety of popular dance forms.
Jazz dance began as an African American social dance that had roots in African slave dances
A free expressive style of dancing with elements of contemporary, theatrical and jazz dance. Technique is still key to develop the use of the entire body in movements expressive of abstract ideas. A fun energising style of dance.
