At Susquehanna Dance Academy

Students may enroll in advanced jazz once they have been evaluated by their instructor to determine that they have mastered intermediate-level jazz technique and can safely participate in the class. Students must be able to demonstrate clean double pirouettes, strong jumps, and high kicks, as well as be able to learn advanced choreography quickly. Each class begins with a full-body warm-up consisting of strengthening, stretching, and balancing exercises, followed by isolations and traveling movements across the floor. The final 15-20 minutes of class consist of learning a more complex dance combining turns, jumps, kicks, isolations and style-specific moves.
