To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance. In recent years, Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles mainly due to its popularity in movies, and on television shows, such as So You Think You Can Dance.
Jazz dancing is an energetic and fun dance form- consisting of syncopated rhythms, intricate movements, improvisation, big leaps, and complex turns. Jazz showcases a dancer’s individual style and originality allowing every dancer the ability to interpret and execute the steps in their own unique way.

The Dance Academy is thrilled to be embarking on our thirteeth season of dance in St. John’s. The Dance Academy was established in 2009 with the vision of providing quality dance instruction where students can learn the art of dance while enhancing social skills and self esteem.
We strive to provide every child with movement experiences which are meaningful and enjoyable, while enhancing motor skill development, social skills and an overall focus on an active, healthy lifestyle.
Our jazz classes also include dynamic choreographies set to popular music and encourage individual expression and development of personal style.
Our jazz classes provide our dancers with fun, upbeat, age appropriate music to express themselves emphasizing proper technique, terminology, and history. Students are well-prepared in the genre following the ADAPT Jazz Syllabus designed by Mr. Brian Foley.
Students will learn techniques of improvisation and rhythm. Classes are designed to provide a solid foundation in the styles of dance used in theatre, musical theatre, Broadway, entertainment and as a basis for more complex styles such as lyrical and contemporary.
Through body isolations, timing, technique, and co-ordination, dancers will learn from both the new and traditional jazz genre
Our programs are designed to inspire young dancers to follow their dreams and express their emotions through movement. We pride our studio to be an inclusive environment for children of all abilities.
