BEGINNER Commercial Jazz - Natasha shares some useful INFO!!
May 7, 2010
Have you ever watched So You Think You Can Dance and thought to yourself, “man, how do they do that!?”
It’s never too late to start from the beginning. In the Beginner Jazz class, we take it back to basics. This class is suitable for absolute beginners as well as intermediate dancers. If you are a true beginner, the class will provide you with the fundamentals and tools you need to begin your introduction into the dance world. If you are already an established dancer, the class can help you enhance your existing skill set. The class allows you to get to know your body in a whole new way. It will enable you to establish (or re-establish) a physical and mental connection with your body through a step-by-step breakdown of every element in each movement.
The class is what you make of it. It will give you all the tools you need to meet any of your individual goals. If you’ve always wanted to try to learn dance, this is a great place to start; if you’re looking for a different way to exercise, this class can leave you feeling like you’ve just had a satisfying workout. Or, if you’re an aspiring dancer with goals in mind, this class can help you improve your overall flexibility, technique and coordination. At the very least, you walk out of every class fully stretched and with some new moves to try at home.
Every class starts with a thorough warm up, and then we lead into technique building with step-by-step instruction. In the last half of the class, you learn and perform a 20-30 second routine to a well-known track. In Beginner Jazz, everyone gets the chance to be a back up dancer for Janet Jackson!
Beginner Jazz offers a non-intimidating and extremely positive environment for anybody who just feels like busting a move!
I challenge you to learn something new and fun and discover the love of dance.
And remember, practice makes perfect!
