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 makes 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.

Danced to soft free flowing music, classes will focus on smooth moving techniques that emphasize the lyrics.
