This class builds on the foundations of Jazz vocabulary, with a more comprehensive application of musicality, choreography and Jazz specific technique.
We explore the individual expression associated with Jazz and build more advanced technique through increasing choreography complexity with attention to building strength, exploring tempo changes, and finding increased ability and artistry. We begin to explore different styles of Jazz including Jazz Funk, Theatre Jazz, Commercial Dance, and Lyrical.
