JAZZ FUNK

As one of the youngest and most commercially successful dance styles, Jazz Funk has taken the dance scene by storm! Most commonly seen in music videos and live performances, this energetic genre combines the sassiness of Jazz dance with the care-free groove of Hip Hop, centering around the empowerment and performance of the dancer.

Though it does not require classical training, Jazz Funk is a versatile dance form that focuses on dynamics, expression and musicality. It’s a unique dance of the body and mind that encourages the dancer to let go of inhibitions and have fun! 

HEELS

This class is open to all dancers and will include a warm-up, the essentials to proper heels technique and a spicy choreo! Please note that while this class is open to all levels, the choreography tends to be at a more intermediate level.
