Jazz technique is a useful foundation across many different styles of dance (including hip hop!). This week we’ll be focusing on fun, upbeat, clean jazz.

We’ll start by stretching and working on flexibility, core strength, and toe points. Then we’ll work on technique for some simple turns (single pirouettes and chainees), simple kicks (battements), and start working towards leaps. Then we’ll learn a short routine using the moves we just worked on!

We’ll start with flexibility and core strength, then work on doubles and start working towards fouettes. We’ll also do some turn combinations (chainees, piques, attitudes) and leaps. Then we’ll learn a short (and really fun!) jazz routine!
