Our Jazz program includes classes with incredible faculty trained in the greatest styles of American Jazz dance, including Giordano, Fosse and more! Our upper level classes also feature Contemporary and Lyrical work (as seen on "So You Think You Can Dance"). In addition, we offer special Lyrical Jazz classes -- a beautiful, interpretive style that combines ballet and jazz.

Our jazz-based Hip-Hop is the popular dance style you see on music videos and in pop concerts. Our teachers regularly work with the best choreographers in the nation, and they even keep it "clean" so parents are happy!
