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.

​

Truckee Dance Factory offers various levels of jazz and broadway dance classes:

• Broadway Jazz 1, Jazz 2, Jazz 3 and Jazz 4/5

• Turns/Techniques/Tricks Level 2/3 and Level 4/5

​

The following dress code is maintained for safety and movement in

jazz classes:

• Hair: Must be neat and pulled away from face.

• Attire: Tight-fitting clothing such as leotards, t-shirts/tanks, leggings or shorts are appropriate. Clothing should not hinder movement (no jeans, no hats). No baggy shirts that will fall over students' heads when they go

upside down. 

• Shoes: Tan or black jazz shoes, preferably slip-ons (with no laces).  Advanced Jazz should have dance heels available.

• NO JEWELRY IN ANY CLASS for safety reasons.
