Intro to Jazz Dance Series
Discover your rhythm, expression, and style in our Intro to Jazz Dance Series — four unique 6-week courses designed for adults ready to explore the energy and technique of jazz dance. Each course builds a solid foundation in posture, isolations, turns, kicks, and movement coordination, while emphasizing musicality, confidence, and performance quality. You’ll learn the core elements of jazz technique, including arm and foot positions, across-the-floor progressions, and classic jazz vocabulary at the barre and in the centre. What sets each course apart is the style of jazz dance being explored. From Broadway flair to commercial edge, each style carries its own rich history and choreography, giving dancers a well-rounded understanding of jazz as both a technical and expressive art form. Whether your goal is to train like a performer or simply move with more confidence and style, our Intro to Jazz Dance Series will help you connect with your inner artist — no experience required. Take all four courses in any order.
Intro to Jazz: Lyrical

Who this course is for: Dancers who enjoy emotional, expressive movement and want to explore the artistry of jazz through a lyrical lens. A blend of ballet, jazz, and modern dance.
Focus: Emotion, storytelling, and expressing the lyrics or tone of the music through movement.
Music: Emotional ballads or cinematic instrumentals with clear phrasing and build. Movement quality:
-Fluid, sustained, expressive
-Uses jazz technique (turns, extensions, leaps) with balletic lines and breathy transitions
-Encourages emotional connection and personal interpretation
Goal: To connect movement with intention — expressing feeling through technique.
Looks like: What you might see in lyrical pieces at dance competitions or emotional routines on SYTYCD, often confused with Contemporary Dance.
