CLASS DESCRIPTION
Jeffrey’s Contemporary Jazz class aims to develop both technique and texture. Focusing on breath, dynamic, and musicality, Jeffrey pushes the dancers to expand stylistically and explore all facets of Contemporary Jazz and Jazz Fusion. Through a guided warmup, improvisation across the floor, and combinations changing each week, he aims to help the dancers work on their adaptability and range, finding different movement qualities while developing their technique.
