Hip Hop & Jazz
What is the difference between Jazz and Hip Hop?

The jazz style of dance is what is seen in many Broadway type shows such as Cats. It is a more structured, stage style of dance. Hip Hop is a fast, higher energy type of dance seen in music videos and commercials. Dance moves in most dance related TV shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" are typical examples of hip hop.

A comfortable and supportive place to learn how to "get your groove on.” Are you dancing out of your seats when you hear upbeat music? Then you will love these classes!
