Modern Jazz
5 years upwards
Strong lines, sharp technique and real performance energy — the style that sits between the discipline of ballet and the attitude of commercial.
Modern jazz is the workhorse of theatre dance. It asks for ballet’s control and commercial’s confidence at the same time, and dancers who take it tend to get noticeably stronger, faster.
Expect technique at the start of class and choreography at the end, with a routine building week by week towards something worth performing.
