Class Description:
Grant Chang has developed his own special style from
years of dance training. The warm-up concentrates on stretch
and reinforcing all muscle groups through a series of repetitive
movements based on traditional techniques from jazz,
incorporating ballet and some modern. Exercises include
isolations, plies, jazz adagio, and abdominal and arm
strengthening. Following is always an across the floor exercise
to develop turns. Combinations are repeated throughout the
week to give students the opportunity more than one time to
master it. He alternates from lyrical to jazz funk so students can
develop and adapt to a variety of different styles. There's a great
emphasis on technique but, most importantly, there is a greater
emphasis on expressing individuality by letting go and dancing
with a real honest and truthful emotional awareness. It is never
about being the best but just doing your personal best. Above all
it's just plain fun and a great workout!
