During this jazz funk class, the focus is on feeling your full-out popstar fantasy baby! Jazz Funk is a commercial dance style that pulls influence from all styles of dance--some include, but are not limited to, hip-hop, jazz, and heels. Class begins with a follow-along warm up in the center of the space. The majority of the class will be spent learning choreography that is rooted in musicality and intricate movements that feel juicy and hot, hot, hot in the body. The end of class will be spent performing the choreography in small and large groups and we will close class with a cool down. This class is a safe and supportive space for you to commit to what feels good in your body and to be perceived in the ways you want to be seen!
Need to Knows:
This class is structured like an intermediate level class, but the movement given is adaptable for all levels.
Sneakers are optional! You can be barefoot or wear socks if that feels best for you.
Bring knee pads if you're someone who usually wears them during floorwork.
