Jazz and Jazz/Hip Hop Dance Classes

For dancers ages 5 and up

Our jazz dance program incorporates several dance styles, as jazz itself is a combination of musical theater, hip hop, and contemporary dance. Jazz dancers use ballet as a foundation to develop the rhythm, strength, and control every jazz dance student needs to complete dynamic dance routines.

Jazz dance classes at Debra Collier’s School of Dance are available for dancers ages 5 and up beginning with our Jazz/Hip Hop class.

Student

I love jazz. This type of dance is my favorite because it’s fast, sharp and fun to do! My teachers, Miss Tammy and Miss Amy are the best! They are so inspiring and positive! Both of these teachers helped me when I was in a bad place emotionally due to comments others made about the way I look.

What to Expect During Jazz Dance Class

Each class begins with a choreographed warm-up to improve strength, flexibility, and technique. Jazz class will include progressions – teaching students how to travel across the floor, and center combinations filled with strong, energetic choreography.

Jazz dance classes vary from 45 – 60 minutes based on ability level.
