Redhurst Schools of Dancing is opening up Jazz to younger dancers on a Monday evening from 5.30-6.00pm
Jazz is a lively dance form associated with up to date music and dance styles such as Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Lyrical and Contemporary. It is a more complex style requiring flexibility, strength and fitness but gives the dancer ways of exploring different movements and developing an individual style and sense of performance.
Students can join jazz from 10 years old, although it is recommended that they have had some previous dance experience. Our Modern classes on a Wednesday or Friday evening are an ideal way to gain that experience.
