This class is for you. STREET JAZZ: Known to have developed in America through the blues and ragtime era into a new syncopated style of improvisational talent, Jazz is a blend of elements from African music, work songs, hymns, dances & marches, and has been described as an outstanding contribution to the art of music. Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, full of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns and much like its music, In jazz class, dancers are encouraged to add their own personality to make each step unique and fun. Established in its own right on stage in Broadway, signature dance moves include the jazz walk, contraction, split leap, jete, step ball change, pivot step, touch step, stag leap, Chancé and pirouette. Ever evolving, modern times have seen the introduction of hip-hop into jazz routines in order to create moves in a style to be known as street jazz. This style of dance can be seen in the latest hip-hop, pop and R&B videos. Classes explore body isolations of the head, shoulders, ribcage, feet and arms and encourage individual expression and the development of personal style. Street Jazz is taught with the music of today together with the classical jazz of yesterday. HIP HOP: Hip-hop dance originated the late 60s as part of the hip-hop culture of rap, scratch music, and graffiti art amongst the urban youth culture of Hispanic and African American men. The dance is ever changing but essentially embraces the athletic movements of break dancing with the incredible technique of Body popping where dancers master a series of fast, sharp actions that travel through the body in a robotic alternation of move and freeze. The dance and its music became internationally current from the late 1970s and is often incorporated into theatre dance. Our Hip Hop class is designed to have you locking, popping, tutting, body waving and booty shaking to the sounds of the latest MTV tracks. FREESTYLE: This class is exactly what it says! Learn the technique of freestyle dance, how to put moves together working from slow dance up to a furious and fast pace, how to break it down and put your own dance routine to music while incorporating body conditioning flexibility and strength to support the technique of choice. This style allows you to express yourself creatively whilst building your technical ability and exploring the world of choreography.
