Is your child interested in jazz? Great! At LA Talent we offer leading jazz classes and lessons in Sydney.

Jazz Classes In Sydney

There are many styles of jazz, interpreted differently by everyone. Jazz classes are very diverse. Jazz can be very sleek and stylish with slow rhythm, through to modern and up-beat funky jazz with faster moves. Most jazz funk classes are a combination of street funk, hip-hop and pop, similar to styles seen in music clip videos. Most of all jazz is great fun, whilst improving your fitness and coordination and expressing your own personal style, dancing to all your favourite and latest songs. There is also a focus on technique and performance.

Jazz is a style that skyrocketed to popularity in the 50’s and is synonymous with jazz hands, Footloose and shimmies. Jazz originated from African American dance and evolved into the modern, energetic dance art it is today.

There is more to jazz dance than fan kicks and shimmies. In today’s world, jazz encompasses a variety of dance styles. Jazz dance develops simultaneously with popular music, and represents the popular music of a given time in a physical form.  In this way, it keeps evolving and remains popular around the world and across all age groups.

At LA Talent, a little bit of modern flavour is thrown into traditional jazz classes. Traditional jazz’s classic technique and power are important to us, and we are integrating and growing with today’s modern music, styles, and movements. This means every jazz class at LA Talent is fun, energetic and a mix of traditional and modern jazz.

Is Jazz Right For Your Child?

Jazz is a fun, eclectic style of dance that encompasses elements from many styles. With a focus on technique and performance, jazz is all about coordination and expressing ones personal style. Our dance classes are a fun combination of ballet, hip-hop and we dance to a mix of jazz classics and some of pops latest hits!

Jazz is super energetic and fast-paced, which means it will help your child build their fitness and dance technique. Jazz is all about self-expression and tends to foster a feeling of achievement and confidence. Many of our kids love our jazz classes because they get a strong sense of achievement from nailing new combos and learning new jazz skills.

Jazz is a great source of exercise for kids. Jazz dance combines technical moves like turns and leaps with energetic footwork and fast-paced routines. Jazz is an effective workout, and is great fun whilst working up a sweat! Our holistic approach to dance means our classes also teach the children key health skills like improving flexibility and posture.

Various studies have shown that active students do better academically, miss fewer classes, and behave better. It is important to find activities that help students stay active because they will also have greater concentration and retention levels. With a lot of children between the ages of 6 and 17 failing to get the recommended 60 minutes of physical exercise a day, it’s important to choose an activity that will foster creativity whilst being physically active. This is what makes jazz the perfect choice – its fun, fast and energetic whilst being self-expression focused!

What Will Your Child Learn Performing Jazz?

Our classes are taught by industry professionals with a wealth of jazz dance and performance experience, hand-picked by the acclaimed Liliana Maddams, the owner of LA Talent. Our teachers live and breathe dance, and have the knowledge to make every jazz class fun and different, so your kids will love coming to dance each week.

Our jazz classes are also tailored to fostering confidence and creativity in each of our dancers – so there are plenty of performance opportunities, teamwork building activities and new skills to master.

Our classes allow our dancers to see themselves grow before their own eyes, and each week of our term builds on the last. This fosters a strong sense of achievement within each of our dancers – which is great for building self-esteem.

Our ethos is all about fostering a love for dance in each of our performers. Thus, each class is designed to teach the skills and routines needed to perform whilst also making every class fun, energetic and full of energy.
