Jazz Basics

This class is geared toward older students who have had little to no jazz training and would like to learn basic jazz technique with older dancers.  Emphasis will be placed on developing strong lines, strengthening the dancer’s technique and understanding the body’s center of movement. Basic terminology, body alignment, and control in turns and traveling exercised will be stressed. This class is also appropriate for students new to dance who are looking to increase dance skills for use in theater.

Quote Marks
"I love that we get to tell classic stories like The Wizard of Oz and The Little Mermaid through dance. I love that we mix it up and do all kind of styles and really get creative with it. These productions are really where that family bond comes from, because we spend countless hours together on the weekends but it’s always so fun. I also think that the WWPDC productions are what make TDC so unique; you’re really never going to fun shows like ours anywhere else and that’s what I love about them!"
