Jazz

Jazz is definitely a fun filled class not to be missed!
Jazz is an exciting and ever evolving dance form. Jazz has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years. This is mainly due to its popularity in television shows, movies, music videos and commercials.
Our energetic Jazz classes consist of unique moves, leaps, turns and kicks. We encourage individual style and expression whilst focusing on developing technique, and movement quality with an emphasis on style, rhythm and proper execution of body isolation, line and progressions.
We offer examinations through the Asia Pacific Dance Association, JazzAddict Australasia Syllabi. Although examinations are not compulsory we encourage all students to undertake examinations as it gives students a wonderful feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction in knowing they are improving each year. Students are presented with a certificate of accreditation for all their effort.

I was a student at Coolum Beach School of Dance from the age of seven to late high school. I studied ballet, jazz and tap while I was there and wish I could have done more! As a student I was given the opportunity to participate in Performance Team, this really helped me become a very confident young woman with a lot of determination. My tutors at the school were great teachers and excellent people who always encouraged us to give our all to the art of creating. I loved every minute of it; from the lessons, the eisteddfods and of course the end of year concerts! I was involved in so many pieces each time, I just couldn’t get enough. My personal highlight was definitely in 2004 when I played the role of White Rabbit in our end of year concert. I will never forget the opportunities afforded to me during my time at Coolum Beach School of Dance. I would encourage anyone who wants to make friends, learn life skills and above all have fun to get involved in the school as they continue to grow!
