Advanced Beginner Jazz: Focus is on breaking down turns, leaps, placement, connecting movement so it flows, and building a dance vocabulary which will bring the dance student to the next level. The class is welcoming to newcomers and Ms. Barker gives individual attention. Her style uses her wide range of influences to create an exciting innovative fusion.
Intermediate Jazz: Works on technique, building more dance vocabulary and fostering individual style by encouraging dancers to create from their own centers. Ms Barker's aim is to develop dancers with the freedom of movement that comes from a firm technical foundation, grace, style and attitude!
