Kids Jazz & Lyrical Dance Classes (3-18)


Jazz

Jazz is a diverse, powerful and dynamic dance style. It improves overall coordination and flexibility in a fast paced, challenging and fun environment. Students will focus on isolations, stylization, jumping, turning, progressions and current choreography.

The General Training Program (G) will include a year-end performance.

The Intensive Training Program (ITP) Dancers must be recommended for this program by one of the Directors. ITP class codes are based on levels. This should make it easier when competition season comes for knowing your dancers codes. Dancers must be taking the required technique classes to participate in the competitive jazz classes. ITP performance classes may include festivals/competitions and will include year-end performances.

Level 1 – (ages 5-7) are required to take a minimum of one  ballet classes per week.

Level 2 & 3 – (ages 8-11) are required to take a minimum of two ballet classes per week.

Levels 4, 5 & 6 – (ages 12+) are required to take a minimum of two ballet classes per week plus affiliated modern and jazz technique classes. 

* If you are unsure what level to register please speak with one of the directors.
