This introductory Jazz class is for first time Jazz students who are excited to "move to the music" and show off their natural flair for dance.   Students focus on listening to the music, finding the rhythm, building basic Jazz technique and vocabulary, and using the power and energy in their movements.

Taught in conjunction with Ballet II to provide understanding of the general requirements necessary for advancing to Pointe classes. Includes four stages of exercises aimed at strengthening muscles of the feet, understanding and working properly in turnout, and overall body awareness and control. Dancers will learn to evaluate themselves and to understand their personal technical weaknesses that will prevent them from going en pointe.

Continuing the foundations of Tap I.

In this second level, students continue to develop their tap technique by enriching the vocabulary and improving the quality of the techniques already introduced. The Intermediate technique builds upon rhythms with more complicated, but repetitive sound elements that require students to have a higher level of concentration and self-awareness. Wings, Pullbacks and more intricate tap combinations are introduced.

In this final level students will work on improving the speed and precision of the movements learned in Tap II, and will also learn more complicated and interesting rhythms. The main goals for this level are to gain confidence and freedom of movement and to be able to utilize the knowledge to create tap improvisations. Students will have increased speed and coordination in their footwork and they will be able to learn more complicated steps experimenting with various levels and styles of tap dance. Students will develop a mastery of tap skills such as Time Steps, Double Toe-Stands, basic Wings, Pullbacks and Rifts.
