West Yorkshire Theatre Dance Centre

Life is for Dancing

Jazz

This is the most popular class within the school. Have you ever seen the backing dancers on MTV? Well this is Jazz. Most surprisingly this form of dance finds its roots in Ballet, and so students who only attend this class are advised to attend at least one ballet lesson per week in order to gain the co-ordination and be able to keep up to the complicated dance routines.

A complete warm up includes limbering, fitness and strengthening exercises, basic dance technique, all to the latest chart music. Jazz is taught to encourage all levels of ability so each student can express himself or herself through rhythm. Students may begin these classes from 5 years old, and is most popular with teenagers.

Jazz classes cover different styles of Jazz including Hip-Hop, Street-Dance and Contemporary.
