Overview of class
Contemporary Jazz II will focus on the foundational training and principles of this form including musicality, bodily isolations, floorwork, groundedness, and collectivity. Class structure includes a warm-up, physical conditioning, turn sequences, jumps, and related stylized choreography. Students will work on strength and flexibility, both in body and mind, in order to become smart, versatile dancers. This class is designed for students who are at an intermediate level and are confident and experienced beyond basic Jazz and/or Contemporary dance practices.
