Contemporary and Jazz Classes
Contemporary is a very technical style that incorporates ballet with an enhanced expressive movement vocabulary. It requires core strength, technique and imagination to perform and express emotion and mood through music and technique.
Our Jazz classes are based on a strong technical base, which incorporates creativity, body and music awareness in an energetic fun class. Our jazz classes are taught by teachers that are still dancing in the professional industry.
