JAZZ FOR AGES 5 THROUGH 18
Jazz combines popular music and movement style, while incorporating the necessary skills required to accomplish leaps, turns, balance, and kicks. It is a technique (unlike Hip-Hop, which is a style) that forms the basis of many styles of popular dance and is therefore recommended as part of a comprehensive dance education.

Amanda Bloom Robbins
My daughter took Miss Amanda's Broadway Dance class for this first time this year. The class was so fun! She came home every week with a big smile and so excited to show us the latest moves. The best part is Miss Amanda's enthusiasm and love for working with the kids. She was dancing and singing right along with the girls every class. We are excited for more Broadway Dance with Miss Amanda!
