Beginning/Intermediate Jazz with a focus on Swing, Lyrical, and Theatrical Jazz

Ripple 2 Jazz students’ budding interest in jazz has blossomed into serene composure as they acquire intermediate-level skills while polishing up beginning-level skills. 
 

Ripple 2 Jazz students continue developing classical jazz skills as they explore improvisation and take inspiration from pioneers of American Jazz Dance such as Fred Astaire & Gene Kelly. 
Performances featuring swing dance, lyrical, and theatrical jazz focus on clean timing and technique.  

Ripple Jazz students enjoy training in various jazz-based styles during their journey through the Ripple Program. Dancers progress smoothly through a detailed curriculum that includes technique, vocabulary, and dance history.
