Jazz dance is an energetic and versatile dance form that combines technique, musicality and expression in an engaging way. It challenges the dancer’s coordination, body control and sense of rhythm, and develops mobility and strength. The characteristic elements of jazz dance are dynamic jumps, varying rhythms and differentiated body use (isolation technique).

Jazz dance originated in the early 20th century from African-American dance traditions, and it developed into a relaxed but technically demanding dance form. In addition to jazz, the music used today also includes pop, soul and funk songs as well as film music, which brings versatility and variety to the classes.

Jazz dance classes include pirouettes, jumps, exercises that improve differentiated body use and body control. Classes focus on fluidity of movement, different movement qualities and coordination. The final series combine the learned techniques into a dance-like and expressive whole. The changing rhythms of the music and dynamic movements make each class diverse and inspiring.

Equipment: Tight-fitting t-shirt and leggings/sports shorts. Bare feet, socks or jazz dance shoes.
