Considered the only true American art form, jazz allows students to learn rhythm, isolation of body parts, and body awareness.  Classes will cover a brief history of classic jazz movement and music as well as contemporary styles like hip hop.  Dancers will also learn progressions of leaps and turns. Tap focuses on rhythm sound, and style. In this class, dancers experience both. Dancers will learn how to improve flexibility, turns, leaps, and basic ballet combinations as well as the sound, snap, and rhythmical quality of their tap skills.
