What is Jazz Dance?

Jazz dance is the basis of popular styles you might see in music videos and musicals.

Primary 1 Jazz (Ages 6–7)
Students are introduced to jazz fundamentals like kicks, chassés, and turns in an environment that prioritizes creative play and group exploration. Emphasis is placed on musicality and body awareness, but equally on how students interact—sharing space, taking turns, and supporting each other.

Primary 2 Jazz (Ages 7–8)
As skills progress, students begin linking movements into expressive combinations, learning how to rehearse as a team and collaborate in group performance. The class reinforces the value of perseverance and creative input—encouraging dancers to reflect, refine, and communicate their ideas.

Primary Jazz (Combined 6–8 yrs)
Dancers of varying levels come together to create, rehearse, and reflect in a supportive environment. Students practice following direction while also making artistic choices within their level.
