Beginner Jazz with Neroli Cousins

ENROLMENTS HAVE CLOSED FOR THIS COURSE.

In this class, students will learn the fundamentals of dance technique including posture and alignment. The structure of the dance class consists of a cardiovascular warm-up followed by strengthening exercises to develop core muscles to aid in the execution of jazz steps. Once the body is prepared for dance, students learn techniques for various skills including turns, kicks and leaps. These steps are then choreographed into short combinations, which will be built upon to form a longer dance sequence to be presented in the final week. 

Venue: St Joseph's Regional College, 1 College Dr, Port Macquarie

Location: TBC

When: Term 4, Week 1. This is an 8 week course, each Wednesday starting 11th October, finishing Wednesday 6th December 2023. (Courses will not run during week 8 at Regional College, due to the Regional College Display Night)

Time: 3.45pm - 5.15pm

Cost: $120 for 8 weeks ($15 p/w)
