Jazz classes begin with a warm-up that emphasizes proper technique and alignment of the body, isolations, strengthening exercises, and stretches to increase flexibility, all of which are to be performed with musicality and jazz styling.  The warm-up is followed by jazz technique exercises in the center and moving across the floor, which will consist of turns, progressions, jumps, traveling steps, floor work, and other stylized movement phrases to widen the jazz dance vocabulary.  The last section of class consists of learning a dance combination that will vary in style every few weeks (contemporary, jazz funk, musical theater, etc.), which seeks to improve performance quality and the technical execution of steps, and to develop personal artistry.
