Jourdan teaches a range of classes including Contemporary, Jazz, Classical and Contemporary Ballet. Each class begins with a full warm up focused on stretching, strengthening technique, and finding where the dancer is in their own body.
Ballet classes move through a series of barre and center exercises that focus on using the dancers technique as a guideline, not a textbook, Jourdan loves to incorporate classical techniques into contemporary and modern movements.
Contemporary and Jazz classes will follow warm up with progressions across the floor (leaps, turns, improvisation…) and will end with dynamic choreography phrases for the dancer to combine and work on all aspects of the class.
