‘Jazz dance’ can refer to a variety of styles because it is heavily influenced by tap, ballet,
acro, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop and of course jazz music. The jazz classes at Essex Blades
Dance Club provide members with a class that has lots of variety and the chance to learn routines
which explore the different interpretations of jazz dance as a genre. This year Faye will try to
explore as many of the contrasting styles as possible, for example, this year she will be
teaching dances from ‘All That Jazz’ to ‘Justine Timberlake.’
Jazz is a great class to go to if you want to learn different routines and you don't have much
experience. It is also a great class in terms of keeping fit because it is highly energised and
allows members to work on their flexibility! So whether you're a beginner or have loads of
experience, if you want to dance to a range of music whilst exploring a variety of techniques
come along to jazz on a Saturday afternoon and keep fit and bendy with us!
