Program Description
DANCE & MOVEMENT PROGRAM
Jazz Dance takes its roots from African Dance and has a strong American History. With an emphasis placed on technique and physicality, dancers will learn the basic fundamentals of Jazz, while also learning interesting choreography to fun music. Students are required to wear black jazz shoes, as well as comfortable clothes in which they are easily able to move and stretch.
VIRTUAL DANCE & MOVEMENT PROGRAM
We are offering the option to Zoom in LIVE for our indoor dance classes. If you prefer your child to take the dance classes from home, we will provide you with access to live zoom into the class and participate from home. Please make sure your child wears clothes that they can move in freely and supportive shoes. Sneakers or jazz shoes are preferred.

Refund Policy During Covid
We are operating in an unprecedented, uncharted territory with many unknown variables. State / City mandated closures, or new guidelines can occur at any time, with very short notice. We may be forced to change/shut down our indoor “in person” program if this happens.
In the event that we have to adjust our in-studio program, we will immediately switch our classes to Zoom on the same schedule. No refunds will be given as the session would continue online until we could return to the studio.
