Class Descriptions
Contemporary Jazz with Sarah Adam
Warmup will focus on connecting breath to movements, encouraging flow and presence. Dancers will explore grounded movements and expressive phrasing through centre and across-the-floor sequences. Emphasis will be placed on fluidity in the torso, musical responsiveness, and connection to the floor. Class will finish with a combination that encourages freedom, personal interpretation, musicality, and unapologetic and joyous full-bodied movement. Sarah's knowledge and experience in Occupational Therapy ensure appropriate modifications are offered to support both safety and artistic growth.
Broadway Jazz with Andi Fitzgerald
After moving through a stylized full body warmup, Andi will introduce key techniques to support this theatrical dance style. Dancers will learn exciting choreographed sequences across the floor to build strength and style. Class will culminate with a combination which dancers are given the opportunity to perform for their peers. Andi takes a dancer centered approach and is happy to modify throughout class to ensure all dancers are both challenged and safe.
