THEATRE JAZZ TECHNIQUE

Dance & Movement Department

CARLI BATSON-BERRY

Head of Dance & Movement

Ready to finally understand all that dance terminology? Want to master that double pirouette or figure out why your knee always pops during that move? In this class, we’ll break down the essential elements and technical foundations of jazz and theatre-style choreography — from clean lines and dynamic movement to expressive storytelling. You’ll learn how dance fundamentals shape your presence both in the audition room and on stage. Together, we’ll connect the puzzle pieces of performance: technique, musicality, style, and stage presence. Whether you’re preparing for auditions, gearing up for a show, or simply ready to refine your craft, this class will help you move with confidence and intention. Let’s tackle those technical hurdles and grow — as dancers, performers, and storytellers beyond just the steps.
