Level: Intermediate

Learn a mix of jazz and modern techniques focusing on deep conditioning and technique as well as center and across the floor vocabulary and skills. Teacher Miss Lady Legs has created a technique class with stage performance in mind, emphasizing:

• Alignment, Balance & Stability
• Core, Back, Ankle & Hip Strength
• Extensions
• Floorwork
• Turns & Leaps
• Musicality & Movement Quality
• Short, Technical Combinations with Intermediate/Advanced Vocabulary

We'll start with a warmup combining Horton, Lewitsky, floorwork and contemporary jazz techniques followed by a stretch. Then, we'll move into across the floor movement and floorwork. Finally, we'll work on skills like pirouettes, fouettes, leg-hold turns, axle jumps, leaps, and more!

Classes are 1 hour long and consist of a 25 - 35 minute warmup and technique, followed by 25 - 35 center and across the floor skills.

You are at the right level for this class if you...

• Have 3+ years of recent, consistent dance training (with some dance training in your youth)
• You are currently taking dance/yoga/similar classes regularly
• You know the following vocabulary: plie, tendu, pirouette, develope, battement, chasse, pas de bourree
• You have some experience with jazz and/or modern dance

Comfortable clothes you can easily move in, fitted preferred. We recommend wearing pants or leggings so you can execute floorwork comfortably.

You may want to bring knee pads.

Shoes: socks or jazz shoes are acceptable, you can bring a short heel if you are at an intermediate/advanced heel level
