• Jazz/ Lyrical Praise Dance, Intermediate/Advanced level (ages 9 and up) In this FUN class, intermediate level

dancers will further develop their technique and style as we explore a variety of jazz disciplines including Lyrical,
Contemporary, as well as Broadway Jazz. Lyrical jazz is slow and very expressive, and a beautiful way to praise
and worship our Lord. Contemporary jazz combines modern dance, ballet, and jazz technique. Broadway jazz

emphasizes character and musical theatre skills (without singing). A variety of turns and leaps will be

strengthened. Students are highly encouraged to take at least 1 ballet class and stretch / strength class along

with this class. Prerequisites: At least two years of ballet and one year of jazz. Special permission may be given
