Modern/Lyrical Jazz
Beginning Modern/Lyrical Jazz will include elements from both styles. There will be basic modern and jazz warm-ups including abs, upper body, floor work, foot work, swings, etc., and a more challenging center combination towards the end of class. Though the class is a beginning level, I will base the pace of each class on the level of the students attending and can accommodate a large range of levels. The most important thing is to have a good time!
