WHY CHOOSE JAZZ?
Jazz is a style of dance that students love! Jazz is fast paced, energetic and up beat and is the perfect introduction to dance at a younger age as well as a fantastic way to progress technically and stylistically as the students reach a higher level. Drawing strongly from ballet roots jazz has however evolved over time. Students will learn a range of jazz styles as well as learn how to stretch safely, progressions for leaps, kicks and turns and choreography. Alongside 'open' style classes we also offer CSTD New Modern Jazz examinations. Examinations are a fantastic way to keep students motivated and encourage them to set a goal and achieve it, although recommended examinations are not compulsory.
