CLASSES
At Jennifer's Jazz It Up, every class is taught with purpose and intention, ensuring our dancers progress and reach their full potential. Our technical training follows the prestigious Radar Technique program from Australia, a renowned system of training and progressions that elevates our dancers' skills and artistry.
Our recital-focused classes feature both a dedicated teacher and a teacher's assistant, allowing us to provide the personalized attention each dancer deserves. As a boutique private training academy, we maintain small class sizes to better cater to the individual needs of our dancers.
Our qualified, caring, and attentive teachers are committed to nurturing every dancer, whether they attend once a week or are part of our senior competitive team. At Jennifer's Jazz It Up, everyone matters, and we take pride in fostering an inclusive and supportive environment where every dancer is important to us. Join us and experience the difference of a dance academy that truly cares about your journey.
Dress Code: Just as with any sports group or activities we have specific dress codes for each class. Dress codes are listed per class on the parent portal registration system.
No Surprises! At Jennifer's Jazz It Up, we believe in full transparency to ensure you never encounter unexpected situations or costs. We understand how frustrating surprises can be, which is why we clearly communicate any additional expenses from the start.
For our recital-focused dancers, extra costs may include uniforms, recital costumes, recital fees, year-end professional photos, and show tickets. We provide detailed information upfront, so you can plan accordingly and enjoy your dance experience without any hidden fees. NEW this year, every dancer will have a recital fee to help cover the cost of extra / dress rehearsal and videography. Please note Competitive dancers will also have extra fees on top of the above listed.
