An introductory jazz dance workshop series for adults, teaching basic technique and principles in a fun, expressive style.
Absolute Beginning Jazz Dance kicks off at the JCC of Austin on Thursday, July 23, as part of an introductory workshop series for adults. It's built for anyone who's ever wanted to learn to dance but didn't know where to start, so you don't need any previous experience to sign up. The sessions run through the summer, with the first one on July 23 at 7 PM and a second on Friday, August 14 at 8 PM.
The workshop focuses on the basic technique and principles of jazz dance. It's described as a fun, expressive form set to upbeat music that draws from ballet, tap, and hip hop to create a melting pot of movement styles. If you've ever looked at ballet and thought it felt a bit too slow or formal, this is pitched as a great alternative for someone who wants something more upbeat. It's also framed as a good workout and a confidence boost for anyone new to dance, so it works as much for the fitness side of things as it does for the artistic one.
