Introduction to Jazz Dance
Fridays starting 10/4**
7:30-9pm
Academy of American Ballet
275A Linden St., Redwood City
$10/class monthly ($30/Oct., $40/Nov., $30/Dec.), $12/class drop-in
**No class 10/18, 11/29, & 12/27
Call 707/546-6170, or send an e-mail to fullsun@sonic.net pre-register
Class open to people of all sizes and genders; however, emphasis will be placed on getting comfortable moving and dancing in a larger body.
Jazz, an American dance form largely derived from, but very different than, ballet, can be seen everywhere in America from the Broadway stage to popular music videos to television commercials. Jazz dance can be performed to all types of music, from classic rock to country, from alternative to hip-hop, from pop ballads to rock anthems, from show tunes to classical arrangementsÂ…you get the picture.
This is an introductory level class suitable for those with little to no dance experience, as well as those with some dance training. The first half of each class will consist of a basic jazz warm-up and stretching while the second half will focus on learning fun jazz dance combinations. Proper form and alignment will be emphasized, as will learning to move to the music and HAVING FUN moving and dancing in our bodies, big, small, or anywhere in between!!
Jazz shoes, dance sneakers, or ballet slippers are highly recommended, but not required. If you do not have any of these, please bring a pair of flexible sneakers. Be sure to wear clothing you are comfortable moving and sweating in, and of course, bring plenty of water.
ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: For the past four years Jessica Judd has trained at San Jose's Studio 10 Dance in jazz, lyrical, rhythm tap, hip-hop, and body shaping. She is the assistant director of Big Moves and dances/performs hip-hop with the Phat Fly Girls (Big Moves' hip-hop performing troupe), modern dance with the Big MovesÂ’ Dancers, and burlesque with The Original Fat Bottom Revue.
