CLASS DESCRIPTION
JAZZ:
Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly
due to its popularity on television shows, movies, music videos and
commercials. People enjoy watching jazz dancers, as the dancing is fun and
energetic.
Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's individual style
and originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps in
their own way. Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves,
fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers need a
strong background in ballet, as it
encourages grace and balance.
TAP: Tap dance was born in the United States during
the 19th century, and today is popular all around the world. The name comes
from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes
touch a hard floor. This lively, rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just
a dancer, but also a percussive musician.
HIP
HOP: Hip Hop is a high-energy class that uses the latest sounds in
rap, R&B and pop music together with movements influenced by some of
today’s hottest video choreographers. Hip hop, while urban, diverse and forever
changing, encompasses movement that has elements of popping and locking, and
breaking. Due to its freestyle movement, students are able to develop

LYRICAL:
Lyrical dance is a dance style that combines elements of ballet,

lyrical comes from the word "lyrics" because dancers use the lyrics
of a song or instrumental music to inspire them to do certain movements or show
expression. The goal of a lyrical dancer is to use gesture, facial expression,
and controlled movements in order to execute their movements and emotions
fully. Besides emotional connection to music, lyrical dance typically
