Wednesday- Jazz/Tap- Grades 3-5

The Jazz/Tap curriculum at SMES allows young dancers the opportunity to get a taste of both jazz and tap dance. In jazz, the students will work on correct posture, placement, musicality, grounded footwork, and coordination. In tap, the students will practice rudimentary tap elements, rhythmic listening exercises, traveling combinations, and improvisation. The class time is divided in half to work on each style.
