For older, more experienced dancers we have Senior Jazz, a technique class to develop strength and skill in a welcoming atmosphere. A friendly established group, new dancers always welcome. The focus is on individual growth and working together with occasional performance opportunities. The focus is on development, not delivery.
What is Jazz?
Jazz dance combines elements of classical ballet with strong dynamic shifts in shape and form. Jazz dance, as with the music, derived from African American culture. Syncopated rhythms with smooth flowing phrases. Isolations and extensions, leaps and turns. Jazz dance has been used in many iconic musicals since the 1930’s and can be seen influencing the commercial choreography of todays pop, hip hop and rock scene. Jazz dance is everything you love from classical movement with the expressive freedoms of carnival and speakeasy culture.
As a versatile form of expression, it allows dancers to showcase their individual style and creativity while developing their technical skills.
