Course outline

What is the course about?

A high energy and fun class suitable for those with some knowledge of dance. Following a warm up we will use centre practice and travelling steps to explore a variety of movement leading to a choreographed routine. Music will be taken from either a West End or Broadway musical.

What topics will we cover?

A warm up will be used to focus and stretch the body, followed by centre practice and travelling steps to explore a variety of movements. A variety of dance styles will be adopted, although the main focus will be of a jazz style. The course will culminate in a choreographed routine. Choreographic techniques might include musical staging, narrative or character and will be accompanied by music.

Have an increased movement vocabulary
Have a stronger awareness of your body.
Have an appreciation of the style and a greater sense of enjoyment.

• Work within groups and pairs safely.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?
