Class Descriptions
Julia’s class begins with a structured, progressive warm up that emphasizes technique and flexibilty. Following warmup, class moves into choreography that is dynamic and energized - be prepared to get moving, and to let that tension go! Julia's choreography emphasizes moving with a freeness of the upper body, specifically focusing on the fluidity of the head, neck, and spine. Her style incorporates classic jazz techniques and lines with more contemporary based movement and release.
Julia's Jumps and Turns class focuses on breaking down the technical elements behind the more basic, through advanced repitoire of jumps and turns. After a structured and progressive Jazz warmup, class will focus on exercises to strengthen technique, and cumulate in the practice of incoproating jumps and turns into choreography.
