Explanation of Jazz levels
Beginner Jazz
A beginner level. If you like dancing around the house or at a nightclub this is a class for you.
Jazz Level 1
The next step up from Beginner Jazz. If you have had some dance experience then this class is fine to join without doing Jazz Beginner.
Jazz Level 2
A follow on from Jazz level 1 – when you are ready to push your self further with more complex routines.
Jazz Level 3
Our advanced level – for those who are feeling confident for faster and complex moves.
Gentle Jazz
For those who like a slower paced jazz class. Suitable for all levels of experience, including beginners and Seniors. You can join this class anytime with no dance experience.
Silver Screen Jazz
Take a step back in time to the days where Hollywood was old and the ‘Silver Screen’ was new. Dance to the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, George Gershwin and Frank Sinatra. 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.
What to wear
Dance or gym wear. A variety of shoes can suit jazz – either jazz shoes, chorus shoes, ballet shoes, socks or bare feet.
