Jazz Technique with Lucy Palmer

 

During our first two terms, we have had training in Jazz dance with  our lecturer. Lucy had initially started classes with and intensive warm up followed by the foundation moves within Jazz technique which included pirouettes and isolations of the body. Students then took part in corner work which incorporated jumps, such as split leaps and stag jumps across the space. Thereafter, we had been taught jazz phrases from both the corner of the room and the centre. Phrases consisited of movement that focused on jazz style movements such as jumps, torso isolation and dynamics between the movement when dancing.
