Description

Join me this winter for a beginners musical theater jazz dance class to master the art of the "Razzle Dazzle"!  In addition to Jazz dance simply being a blast, Broadway Jazz Dance is also a pillar of musical theater movement and an important skill for younger performers to become familiar with.  It is a dynamic, theatrical dance style blending traditional Jazz technique with storytelling, character development and dramatic choreography while incorporating turns, jumps, and kicks.  

Filled to the brim with Chassés and Kick Ball Changes we will learn basic jazz steps to successfully prepare you for any basic auditions and theater combination you could face.  We will be shimmying our way through a repertoire of the 20th century Jazz giants including Gene Kelley, Bob Fosse and many more.  You won't want to miss this feather boa filled class!

Teacher:


Tracy Barber

Tracy is so excited to share her passion for and experience in dance through instructing the performers of CYT. She grew up dancing and performing on stage throughout her school years training in various dance styles with a special focus on Jazz and Tap. In addition to investing in and supporting her children as they worked with CYT and other local performance organizations over the years, Tracy continued her Musical theater journey at Kianti's Pizza and Pasta Bar, a locals favorite restaurant that she co-owns. Because of her love for theatre, she created a dinner and a dance show experience every Friday and Saturday night. This turned into over 20 years of weekend performances varying in style, which she has directed and choreographed, starring her very own employees. Get excited to bust a move, and I'll see you on the dance floor!
