JAZZ TECHNIQUE

Jazz is one of the most fun and classic styles of dance. Jazz dancing began with the Jazz music era and is constantly evolving. Jazz is performed on stage with attack, technique and usually with a lot of attitude! Using its upbeat movement, Jazz dance emphasizes rhythm, style, lines, and a strong low center of gravity. At EDA we strive to instill these key aspects into our students. Kids will get the opportunity to learn multiple styles of Jazz while incorporating its basic technique. We believe that a strong understanding of the basics will help our dancers thrive!
