JAZZ

Jazz classes at CKDS are grounded in the fundamentals of ballet but focus on the structure of traditional jazz dance technique based on the teachings of Gus Giordano, Frank Hatchett, Luigi, and other jazz gurus.  Our jazz instructors incorporate a warm-up, progressions, and a combination, while they may explore a variety of styles: funky, broadway, latin, and more over the course of the year. This fast paced class incorporates quick turns, jumps, and power moves to create an energetic dance form. It teaches center control, spotting and leaps. Jazz allows students some freedom of interpretation when executing  steps and moves. which makes the class fun and energetic.
