Fall 2026 - Intro to Jazz

Service Description

Learn the building blocks of jazz dance in a supportive, skill-focused environment. Perfect for beginners and newer dancers, Intro to Jazz breaks down the essential steps and techniques used in jazz choreography at a comfortable pace. You'll learn fundamental movements like jazz walks, tendus, pas de bourrées, chassés, pivots, and more while developing coordination, balance, musicality, and confidence. Each class focuses on understanding how and why movements work, not just memorizing them, so you can dance with greater ease. Whether you're brand new to jazz or looking to strengthen your fundamentals, this class will give you the skills to move with confidence. ATTIRE: Wear clothing that allows you to move freely while helping you feel like your most confident dancing self. Leggings, joggers, dance pants, shorts, tanks, or fitted tees are all great options. Layers are encouraged to help you stay comfortable as you warm up. FOOTWEAR: Jazz shoes are recommended, but bare feet are welcome if you're just getting started. Visit our Recommendations page for suggested shoe styles and retailers. CLASS SCHEDULE: This 10-week session runs from Sept 27 - Dec 4. The price shown is for the entire session. OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITY: This fall, dancers enrolled in select classes will have the opportunity to perform in TDF Stage Sessions on December 4. Designed as a low-pressure performance experience, Stage Sessions gives dancers the chance to perform their class choreography on a real stage for an audience of fellow TDF dancers. There are no auditions, no additional rehearsals, and no tickets to sell. Your instructor will prepare your class piece during your regular class time. Participation is completely optional, making this a great opportunity for dancers who want to experience the excitement of performing while building confidence in a supportive community.
