Immerse yourself in the joy of moving collectively!

Georgia invites you to experience modern jazz techniques through somatic practices that encourage inner awareness and greater movement efficiency. Modern Jazz incorporates fluidity and syncopated rhythms while drawing from multiple dance styles. Set to an engaging playlist, the class includes a thorough warm up, floor work, across the floor progressions, improvisation, and contemporary choreography.

Each week we will review previous content as well as learn new movement material that supports personal expression and uniqueness. She looks forward to dancing with you!
