Jazz
Jazz dance has become one of the most popular dance styles over the
years. With it’s various influences from African dance (where it
originated) to ballet and hip hop. While Jazz can be a slow paced,
smooth, style of dance, for the most part it is a fast paced,
energetic, and most of all fun style, isolating various parts of the
body in movement.
Technique is the foundation for all Jazz movement, using the bodies centre control to maintain balance and execute powerful movement. This is why a strong background in ballet is needed to excel in this style of dance. The music choice often determines the movement - students are given as much variety across all sub sections of the style.
Classes are offered at Beginners level for those students not
having a great deal of experience in the style. They will focus on
general technique and fitness
For those studying dance more seriously, separate jazz classes are
offered to those that do 2 ballet classes per week
