encore Plus enrichment classeship-hop/Jazz • (Grades 1–4)
In the return of this popular class, students explore the basics of the jazz and hip-hop dance styles. Classes will expose students to different methods of jazz dance; introduce jazz technique, choreography, and skills; and explore the history of jazz. Emphasis will be placed on developing rhythmic awareness, choreography, and individual expression. Additionally, students will explore hip-hop dance, a looser form of movement that emulates the dance styles seen in current media. These are active forms of dance that are great for building coordination, strength, and musicality for boys and girls alike. All music, dances, and themes are carefully selected to ensure they are age-appropriate for young children.
