Jazz Dance I

Learn jazz dance, a high-energy dance form that arose in African American communities in the early 20th century and took the stage and screen by storm. Jazz dance combines traditional African steps with European styles of movement to create dynamic, expressive patterns. Perform fundamental jazz steps, techniques, body isolations, and movement phrases. Practice jazz exercises to develop flexibility, alignment, and placement. This course is designed for new dancers and those who have not explored jazz dance in depth.
