Inspired by rhythmically rich and funky music, this jazz class places a strong emphasis on developing a grounded jazz movement style. All jazz classes begin with a sequential warm-up incorporating gentle stretching, followed by isolations, traveling progressions and combinations that make this class both challenging and really fun! This class promotes co-ordination, freedom of movement, confidence and overall body awareness in a supportive environment.
Jazz Classes are offered by Full Year (30 weeks), Fall (13 weeks) or Winter/Spring sessions (17 weeks).
Fall classes will end with an Open House and the Winter/Spring session will end with a performance at the River Run Centre in May.
Attire: Bodysuit and convertible footless tights or dance shorts with a tank top

“Love the school and how inclusive and community minded it is! It’s hard to find a studio that doesn’t have a toxic competitive vibe or overly gendered attitudes. Really love that there is a jazz programming just for the fun of it and love of dance. Keep doing what you’re doing.”
“GYD, with its ethic for mentoring healthy dancers- fully expressed, is a gem in our community!”
