An energising fusion of Commercial and Jazz technique.
Each week, these energising Commercial Jazz sessions will take participants through an upbeat cardio warm up, limbering into jazz technique. Then, put what you've learnt into practice with addictive, funky choreography to get you dancing. You'll leave with a groove in your step.
Please wear comfortable clothing and trainers. Don’t forget to bring your bottle of water!
This class will be participating in our annual Christmas show!
