Our Jazz 2 class is perfect for dancers who have mastered the basics of jazz and are ready to take their technique and performance skills to the next level. This class builds upon the foundation established in Jazz 1, introducing more complex movements, combinations, and rhythms, while refining the key elements of jazz dance such as control, flexibility, musicality, and expression.
In this class, students will further develop their technical skills by working on more advanced turns, jumps, kicks, and leaps, while incorporating sharper, more dynamic movements. Jazz isolations, which involve moving different parts of the body independently, will continue to be refined, helping dancers develop greater body control and fluidity. Students will also work on improving their floor work, extensions, and balance—important aspects of becoming a well-rounded jazz dancer.
Jazz 2 focuses on building strength and flexibility through more challenging exercises, designed to push students’ abilities in both their upper and lower body. Students will explore more complex choreography, working on combining technique with performance in routines that require precision, energy, and expressive movement. The class encourages dancers to begin experimenting with their own interpretations of the music, adding personal style and attitude to their performance.
Performance quality is a major focus of this class, as students will work to refine their stage presence and confidence while learning to execute dance routines with clarity and energy. Jazz dance is all about performance and character, and Jazz 2 gives students the opportunity to explore more advanced performance skills, preparing them for future performance opportunities and exams.
Progression:
Jazz 2 prepares students for Jazz 3, where they will continue to refine their technique and take on more complex choreography. This class lays a strong foundation for more advanced jazz movements and routines, helping dancers gain the confidence and skills needed for more challenging levels. Students will also have the opportunity to perform in showcases and exams as they progress through the grading system.
Our experienced jazz instructors guide students through every step of their journey, offering personalized attention and constructive feedback. Whether preparing for exams, performances, or simply looking to refine their jazz technique, our Jazz 2 class provides a nurturing and challenging environment for dancers to grow and develop.
