Jazz Dance Classes

Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and commercials. Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in their own way, showcasing their own individual style and originality.  To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.

The Outreach Program educated local High School students on the process ofproducing a dance show and encouraged them to pursue a college education.
