Class Descriptions
BALLET
JAZZ
TAP
TAP AND JAZZ COMBO
All Tap and Jazz combo classes work with the basic fundamentals of both techniques. Dancers will work on flexibility, isolation work, leaps, turns, across the floor work, and stylized choreography in Jazz. In tap, dancers will work on basic rhythms, vocabulary, and choreography. Perfect two for one!
HIP HOP
All Hip Hop classes have a full warm up (isolation work, strength/endurance building, floor stretches) Hip Hop combinations and choreography. Classes emphasize urban Hip Hop techniques, attention to movement detail and performance quality. Dancers will learn to pick up choreography fast while learning several genres of Hip Hop and freestyle. Classes are fun, challenging, up beat and most importantly empowering!
MODERN
Our Modern classes are a signature class at Izizwe and one of our most popular! This class explores several different Modern techniques to include; Grahm, Horton, improvisation, floor work, suspend/release, and challenging choreography that is sure to prepare dancers for powerful performances. Dancers will also gain knowledge of the choreographic process and how to successfully express their ideas through movement. Modern builds strength, improves technique, and creates well rounded and unique dancers who are capable of anything!
AFRICAN DANCE
Come sweat it out with a blend of dance, rhythm, cardio, and culture! This class is a fun workout that combines traditional African Dance with strength building and stretching. Challenge yourself, move at your own pace, or simply be a part of the culture. All ages and abilities welcome! All classes include live drumming. ($8 per class. No registration required)
CREATIVE MOVEMENT
Creative Movement combines storytelling, movement, and song in a child friendly setting. Little ones will learn rhythms, body awareness, movement vocabulary, confidence, flexibility, and coordination -- all while having fun and the opportunity to meet new friends! Creative Movement is a great introduction to all types of Dance in a studio setting.
Technique
This class focuses on strengthening and conditioning the body for proper technique. Dancers will build endurance, stamina, flexibility, and strength. Individual needs are met within this class by providing hands on instruction that is clear and progressive.
