Class Description
Adv Beg JAZZ: focus is on
breaking down turns, leaps, placement, connecting movement so it flows,
and building a dance vocabulary which will bring the dance student to
the next level. The class is welcoming to newcomers and Ms. Barker gives
individual attention. Her style uses her wide range of influences to create
an exciting innovative fusion.
Int JAZZ: works on technique,
building more dance vocabulary and fostering individual style by encouraging
dancers to create from their own centers. Ms Barker's aim is to develop
dancers with the freedom of movement that comes from a firm technical
foundation, grace style and attitude!
