Description

Discover the exciting world of jazz dance in our Jazz Foundations class, specially designed for students in the early years of their jazz training. Our experienced instructors will guide students through the essential building blocks of jazz technique, including: jazz terminology, isolations, classic jazz movements, and basic turns and jumps, as well as developing the necessary strength and flexibility for future jazz training. Jazz Foundations typically requires a minimum of 2 years of study before progressing to Intermediate. Our Foundations 2 classes include students who are 13-18 years old on August 1st, 2026. 

Dancers wear a uniform leotard, black v-waisted jazz pants, and tan jazz shoes.

The school year concludes with a required, supportive and structured exam where students can celebrate their progress!

Dancers will perform in our Christmas Showcase (wearing uniforms) and Spring Production (wearing purchased costumes).

All Jazz Foundations students are strongly encouraged to also take Tap Foundations. In Musical Theater, tap and jazz are critical skills. By enrolling in both students can ensure their progress through our levels is consistent.
