Philly Dance Fitness – Jazz with Beverly

Explore fundamental jazz movements made popular by legendary choreographers and teachers in this beginner-friendly program. After a series of warm-ups, stretches and turn preparations, you’ll practice passes across the floor, incorporating walks, spins and jumps. Each element will be broken down with a view toward proper execution and the “sharpness” jazz dancing is known for. During the second half of class, you’ll piece together a short choreography. Before long, you’ll be polishing jetes, jazz pirouettes, soutenu turns and more. Like our ballet program, this class is designed for adults who want to learn technique just for the fun of it: no competitions and no stress!
