Jazz and Tap

Jazz and Tap 

PYT offers an assortment of Jazz and Tap dance classes. Students are placed in classes according to their age, experience, and ability. Advancement through each level is determined by these factors, plus the instructor’s recommendations.

JAZZ
Combining technique and performance, these classes will focus on body placement, strength, and flexibility through warm-ups, center, and progressions across the floor. Choreography will push the student technically and have an emphasis on performance techniques.

TAP
A rhythm tap style fusing both technique and choreography. The classes explore cross-rhythms, syncopation, and call and response techniques. Tap routines are taught in a range of styles, including theatrical (Broadway) tap, jazz tap, and rhythm tap. Students may also learn original choreography from tap legends that have been handed down to tap dancers for decades.
