Our Jazz classes are designed to help students grow stronger in their technique and ability to understand the many styles that encompass Jazz. While we do cover many of the different styles throughout the year, our everyday class focuses on the classical jazz technique. We work through progressive warmups which prepare and align their bodies to better execute combinations. We then move onto isolations which allow controlling movement focused on one area of the body at a time. Next, we travel across the floor with complex routines combining kicks, turns and leaps. Lastly, we come center floor learning combinations that involve several abstract dynamics that progress with instruction throughout the year. Jazz allows our students to enjoy learning traditional and a variety of challenging choreographies while still honoring the Lord.
