What is Jazz?
This fun style combines upbeat, stylized movement with proper technique. Jazz dance is based on ballet principles with each class consisting of a warm up using isolated movements, across the floor progressions and current choreography all set to age appropriate music.
All of our K-12th grade classes will incorporate jazz into their weekly class curriculum. All classes will perform a jazz routine at our spring recital. Premier classes will compete a jazz routine.
TUMBLE TOTS
AGES 3-5
If your little one loves dancing to upbeat music, this snazzy introduction to jazz & acro class is perfect! Set to high-energy, age-appropriate music, dancers will learn the basics of jazz and acrobatics in a fun and engaging way. This class will focus primarily on acro fundamentals for the first part of the season and perform a jazz routine at the winter and spring recitals.
*It is highly recommended that dancers be in a Teeny Twist or Tiny Twirl class in addition to enrolling in Tumble Tots.
