Students will be introduced to the dynamic and energetic style of jazz dance! With the guidance of our professional educators, students will learn how to utilize grounded, musical, and vibrant technique to channel an inner fierceness and discipline. Students will learn about the rich history of jazz dance while being able to apply these techniques to their favorite modern-day music! As part of this process, students will review the structure of a dance class and the elements of movement, including body, action, space, time and energy.
This program introduces young dancers to the fundamentals of jazz movement while fostering self-expression, self-management and community. Over the course of the session, students will engage in social-emotional learning as they explore various jazz-based movement games; strengthen individual gross-motor skills; enhance memory function through technical and choreography practice; reflect on dance connections and musicality; develop confidence through improvisational activities; and activate free choice, self-expression and creative growth by building relationships with peers and the class educator.
