Jazz/Hip Hop
Jazz originated from African dance traditions in the early 40's & 50's. It took on a more polished Broadway theater type flare and then in the 90's with a "Hip Hop" flare. At Dance Grosse Ile, we teach traditional classical jazz and mix it up with Hip Hop as well. Jazz is most popular in music videos, commercials and movies. The music in class is always upbeat, popular and current. All music is age appropriate.
