Jazz classes combine traditional jazz styles with the ever-changing styles and trends of contemporary popular culture. Each class consists of the basic steps, vocabulary, and variations of the dance form with unique moves, rhythmic patterns and variations, body isolations, fancy footwork, big leaps, and quick turns. Through warm-ups and exercises, students gain strength, flexibility, endurance, coordination, musicality, and performance presence.
