Mini Jazz classes will be held 4:00 – 4:45 pm.

In Jazz, students work on improving performance skills and retaining choreography with weekly combinations. Jazz technique layers on ballet including strength building warm-ups, flexibility, isolations, across the floor progressions and choreography. We will also focus on learning choreography and developing performance skills which really boost self confidence! Class runs 45 mins.

In Ballet, focus on barre work, stretching and strengthening, center work, and across the floor progressions. Within these exercises, we aim to encourage artistry, musicality, flexibility, strength, and dedication. The curriculum draws on our classical conservatory training in an engaging way that promotes the joy of movement and creative expression.

The cost for an 8-week session is $160 with 25% off for siblings, multiple class discounts are also available. They also offer full session + drop-in classes+ free trials for newcomers and class placement.
