JAZZ & BROADWAY
Jazz dance is a high-energy, upbeat style covering a wide variety of movements. The class will incorporate traditional and modern jazz techniques such as turns, leaps, kicks, floorwork and more while expanding the dancer's stylistic abilities.
​
Broadway Dance will focus on learning about different Broadway choreographers and styles of dance. Students will learn about the physical traits of becoming a character, how to perform with their facial expressions and emote to an audience.
