Contemporary Jazz classes will be a combination of contemporary dance within which we will explore organic movement and the jazz dance technique for the development of motoric skills, physical fitness and speed. Through fixed exercises for the core and in the space, we will work on fluidity, expression, correct use of the body and musicality.
