Jazz

Jazz is a combination of steps that come from ballet, modern, contemporary and body language; It’s the dance style you see in the Broadway musicals and in the cabaret. Do you dare to learn it?

Jazz is a type of dance that covers a wide range of styles. It employs multiple techniques such as classical ballet, contemporary dance and body language. In our classes we offer a varied range of Jazz styles:

  • Classical jazz (with movements of contraction and elongation, full of strength and lyrical sensuality, derived from the bodily sensations caused by blues music and contemporary jazz)
  • Modern Jazz (with rhythms of modern cuts using techniques of classical ballet and likewise complemented by styles of free expression and body aesthetics).
  • Musical Jazz (As its name indicates a style focused on musicals)
  • Street Jazz or funky Jazz (with aggressive and strong movements, with very sharp shots)

The latter is one of the main reasons for what it is advisable for youngsters to practice with precocious dance notions.
