Jazz/Hip Hop

 

Step, kick, kick, leap, kick, touch!  Words from the musical “A Chorus Line” and words that you will certainly hear in our jazz classes here at Center Stage!  From Broadway shows, to movies, to music videos, jazz as an art form has evolved over time.  However, turns, leaps, and kicks will always remain the core of our work.  With a solid warm up at the beginning of each class, our jazz program strives to improve not only the dancers’ skills, but the strength and flexibility behind the movements.  Endless combinations and across the floor building blocks will keep the dancers on their toes.  Ready… A-five-six-seven-eight!

PERFORMANCES:

Our Main stage production is designed for older children and teens and is performed at a local Performing Arts Center within a school.  Center Stage shows are not dance recitals, they are Broadway in New Jersey! Not only does our end of the year show demonstrate our students’ growth, it also provides each and every one of them the experience of professional theatre. At Center Stage we think that our shows are in a class by themselves; but don’t take our word for it. Chris Scherer, reviewing our show in the Home News, said that our “Dance program at (the) State Theatre is out of this world” and that Center Stage “may have changed the stodgy old dance recital program forever.” Come on down and see for yourself. We guarantee you will catch the Center Stage Fever!
