Jazz Dance Classes at Catherine’s Dance Studio
A little funkier and a lot more fast-paced, Modern Jazz Dance has its roots in Caribbean Traditional Dance forms. Jazz class elements include a warm-up, leaps across the dance floor, and different types of turning. A little less refined than Ballet, Jazz uses the techniques of Ballet as a springboard for the modern moves with your hands, legs, head-spotting, and body that define Jazz.
We offer a variety of combination Jazz Dance Classes that incorporate a variety of techniques and movements for all ages.

“The grace and poise that a student learns in Ballet are transferred to other dances and to a girl’s life out of the studio as well. When I see a girl walking, I can tell she is a dancer. Her shoulders are back, she holds her head high, and she has that extra poise that comes from being a Ballet dancer. She carries herself differently, she is stronger and she knows it. She is a Dancer and that helps define who she is and where she thinks she belongs in the world. What parents give their girls and what she gives to herself in the dance studio makes a difference in her life.” – Catherine Stephenson
