This class is the next step up from from the intro class.  We will start working on a variety of turns and jumps that were not taught in the Intro class, thus expanding your jazz vocabulary.

Jazz Notes* Those who have not perfected the intro class yet but want to push themselves should attend both classes; the Intro class to continue the work on the basics and the Beg/Int class to learn new jazz elements. If you are confused as to which class to attend, please try the Intro class first.

Contemporary:

In Melissa’s contemporary class you will use your body in a variety of ways. Each class will consist of a warm-up, across the floor exercises and choreography. Focus will be on using the music and movement to express emotion and establishing a mind body connection. You will discover how your body moves, developing your own unique style and dance in the moment.
