Jazz is an energetic and exhilarating class of rhythmic movement. This upbeat style combines elements of cultural dance, ballet technique, modern dance, and popular dance forms. Jazz dance has many unique movement styles and its own vocabulary. Jazz dance classes contain isolation movements, strength-based skills, stylized across-the-floor sequences, floorwork, jumps, and turns. Jazz dance encourages each dancer to find their unique style of dance and self-expression. Prerequisite: Jazz 1 or student evaluation with the Director of Dance.
