Overview of class

Dance 360 - Contemporary Jazz III is designed for students confident and proficient in both Jazz and Contemporary dance practices. Highlighting the hybridity of the form, materials will focus on musicality, bodily isolations, groundedness, and clarity of expression. Class structure includes a sensation based warm-up, physical conditioning, as well as advanced floorwork, turn sequences, jumps, and related stylized choreography. Students will develop strength and flexibility in both body and mind, empowering them to find and express their own individual voices. The classroom culture is a learning community where students build up themselves and each other growing into unique, autonomous, and intelligent movers.
