Jazz Classes

ITM'S Jazz classes promise to deliver a mix of traditional style jazz technique with a modern flair! Through stretching and strengthening exercises your dancer will learn stamina, building strength and flexibility, and so much more! Our goal is that each dancer feels confidant as a part of their dance team all the while having the opportunity to shine individually!

Our team will lead your dancer to expand their jazz technique, discover teamwork skills, continue finding self-confidence, while still having that flair of fun energy that is included in all our classes! Our weekly classes will focus on stretching, strength training, musicality and age-appropriate movement. Adaptable movement will be provided. Students will be introduced to center work and across the floor combos, and a final optional dance project to be performed in the Winter Showcase as well as Spring.
