Jazz Basics

Jazz Dance is a very popular dance style - particularly for those trained in classical ballet who wish to cross over into modern dance.
Jazz focuses on body alignment, strength and flexibility with neat, precise footwork and strong arm movements and alignments. It is often associated with dance musicals such as "Chicago" and "Fame". Although technical in nature, there is a strong emphasis on individual style.
Our Jazz Basics classes follow the Canadian-based ADAPT Jazz Syllabus, a highly technical-based syllabus that includes warm up barre exercises, stretch, traveling across the floor, technique building and combinations. For students who show strong potential, demonstrate a good, consistent technique and a passion for jazz dance, will be invited to join our ADAPT Jazz Examination Program (click for more details).
