Jazz Dance Class Curriculum
Our recreational, self-paced jazz dance classes are designed to encourage kids and teens to get excited about the dance style and jazz music. However, what’s most important to our experienced dance instructors is that the children learn vital life skills. We consider these skills especially important:
- Peer Socialization: Students develop social skills by interacting with fellow dancers, making new friends, and improving communication. They also learn teamwork and the perks of supporting each other through good times and bad.
- Cooperation: Students work together on choreography and improve their technique and artistic talent.
- Building confidence: Our instructors teach jazz dance techniques and skills while providing helpful feedback. Students can develop a stronger sense of self that shines in class and after they walk out our doors.
Our jazz dance classes start with a warm-up to help prevent injuries. Students learn the proper techniques and the importance of not rushing through the process. They also gain an understanding of why warm-ups are necessary before all types of physical activities, such as dancing, sports, and even fast-paced walking.
At the end of our jazz dance class, we finish with cooldowns. This time helps the body transition from intense physical movements to a slower pace, preventing muscle pain, stiffness, and injuries.
Benefits of Jazz Dance Classes
Kids of all ages can benefit in many ways. Our supportive, knowledgeable team ensures our dance studio is a safe space where students can develop their love of the arts. It’s also a great setting to make friends and be in a supportive environment while learning the importance of encouraging others.
Jazz dance classes are a fantastic outlet for burning energy and being physically active in a fun, safe manner. Dancers learn about rhythm, expression, coordination and proper techniques.
Another perk is that many students discover dancing is a wonderful stress outlet. In some cases, it’s the primary one that works best for them. Whether they’re feeling the pressures from school, home, friends or other areas of life, they can seek comfort and happiness in this upbeat and engaging dance style.
