Spotlight: Contemporary Jazz (Beg/Int) with Teo and Tati

This beginning-intermediate jazz/contemporary technique class will focus on building strong foundational skills through turns, inversions, floorwork, and jumps. Students will practice essential technical elements that strengthen control, alignment, and artistry. Alongside physical training, we will emphasize learning dance terminology to deepen understanding of movement concepts. The goal of this class is to help dancers feel more confident in picking up choreography quickly and mastering it with precision and expression.
