Silver Screen Jazz

Inspired by the music and movies of the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s 50’s and 60’s, each week you will learn a simple and highly-stylized routine. Whether we take a lean into Fosse, a nod to the lyrical grace of Gene Kelly, or sweep into the glamorous world of Grace Kelly this class is an hour of good music, good dancing and good fun.

Dance or gym wear. A variety of shoes can suit jazz – either jazz shoes, chorus shoes, ballet shoes, socks or bare feet.
