Jazz

Jazz is a high-energy style of dance known for its fast-paced, dynamic choreography.  Jazz is often seen in music videos and stage performances, making it a versatile and exciting genre to learn.

 

Our Jazz classes provide each student with solid technical training, performance training, and the platform to create, achieve and grow as a dancer, artist and choreographer.

 

There is a focus on arm combinations, classical technique, floor work, turns, isolations, leaps, amalgamations and dances.  Amalgamations include jazz, lyrical and musical theatre.

 

At Strive, we follow the Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA) syllabus for our Jazz classes, offering structured progression for students of all ages and levels.

 

Jazz encourages dancers to showcase their personality.  All work is progressive and designed to develop coordination, strength, agility, flexibility and style.

 

Each year in September, our Jazz dancers are invited to take part in their APDA dance examination.  This is an exciting experience where dancers can challenge themselves in a supportive and encouraging environment, as well as receive feedback from experts in the industry.  Exams teach dancers motivation and give them a strong sense of achievement.  They are a fun and rewarding way to celebrate progress, while developing a love of the arts.
