This class blends the strength and technique of ballet with the energy and style of jazz, giving students a well-rounded foundation that strongly supports musical theater dance.Students will build ballet fundamentals such as alignment, balance, coordination, and control, then apply those skills directly to jazz movement, turns, jumps, and choreography commonly seen in stage and musical theater settings. Studying both styles together helps dancers understand how clean technique supports character, storytelling, and confident performance.
