About Jazz Dance Classes at our Studio
CCD’s Conservatory Training Program in Jazz offers 6 different levels of classes that are designed to develop dancers’ body alignment, core support, and understanding of musicality plus theatrical approach that are required for jazz dance technique. From the cultural perspective, CCD students will develop the understanding of how current theatrical jazz technique is rooted in African American social dances that were developed in the early 20th century. In addition, CCD emphasizes anatomically appropriate training methods, process-based learning, and professional standards.
What Community Says
-
Both of my kids have been dancing with CCD for years. In that time, CCD has taught them not only technique, but also conscientiousness, responsibility, respect, commitment, hunger for excellence, kindness, long-term goal planning, and a host of other life skills. CCD is the kind of institution that makes a community. If you're looking for a place for yourself or your kids, you've just found it.
