Offered to students aged 5 & over, Jazz is a fun, energetic and popular dance style with kicks, turns and leaps. Refer to the READY SET DANCE program for students aged 3 – 5 ½ years. LEARN MORE>

Our jazz classes follow the format of teaching posture, technique, extension and building strength, balance and co-ordination. Jazz is also available to our General Dance stream.

Jazz is an ever-evolving dance form integrating isolations, rhythmic exercises, floor patterns, improvisation and dance routine combinations choreographed to different styles of music ranging from today’s recent hits to Broadway musicals. When performing jazz routines, a strong stage presence with facial expression is emphasized.

These classes are often taken in conjunction with a classical ballet class to further develop students dance technique, rhythm and flexibility. As a child progresses through the different levels, the movements will become more complex as the student develops their technical skills and physical movements.
