Class Structure
Beginners Class — 60 Minutes
Warm and long
A dancer's warm-up proper — isolations, lunges and lengthening stretches — because jazz asks for range and rewards preparation.
Technique corner
Kicks, chassés, jazz turns and leap preparation drilled across the floor — the machinery under every showstopper, built one diagonal at a time.
The number
Choreography from the Broadway-to-music-video spectrum, taught in sections with its dynamics intact — the snap, the suspension, the show.
Style and sell
The same material performed, not just executed — épaulement, focus and the theatrical commitment that separates jazz from exercise.
Stretch out
Splits-adjacent stretching for those chasing range, gentle release for everyone else, and the number's soundtrack stuck in every head.
About Jazz Classes in Cambridge
Jazz is the theatre's house style: kicks, turns, leaps and isolations arranged with maximum intent to be watched. Our Cambridge classes teach it from technique upward — proper preparation for the flashy vocabulary — then spend it on real numbers that run from Fosse-flavoured classics to sharp modern stage jazz.
It's a natural fit for a city this thick with theatres, choirs and am-dram societies: jazz is the style that makes performers. Beginners get honest scaffolding — every kick has a lower version, every turn a preparation — while returners find the technical ladder they remember, ready to climb further.
A flat £8 each week you come — and only the weeks you come.

Why Choose Jazz in Cambridge?
Stage-ready style
Jazz teaches performance itself — focus, dynamics, selling a move — the skills every musical, panto and showcase in town runs on.
Technique that transfers
Jazz turns, kicks and leaps underpin commercial, musical theatre and half of contemporary — one class, four styles fed.
Range and power
Flexibility and explosive strength are trained side by side — jazz bodies are famously the most capable in the building.
£8 flat
Pay-per-class at £8 with no term structure — consistent for regulars, forgiving for the busy.
Your Jazz Journey
From first class to confident dancer — here is how it usually goes.
The machinery
Clean fundamentals
Jazz walks, chassés and single pirouettes become reliable — the technique corner pays out fast at this stage.
First number
A full routine with genuine style choices, danced to music that makes relatives request performances.
Higher and sharper
The vocabulary grows
Double turns, higher kicks, first leaps — each new skill arriving on scaffolding the earlier weeks built.
Dynamics awaken
Snap versus melt, hit versus suspend — you start dancing the music's punctuation, not just its words.
Performance quality
The theatrical layer
Focus, face and épaulement get deliberate attention — the difference between doing choreography and performing a number.
Stamina for shows
Full numbers at performance energy, twice through — precisely the fitness auditions and productions ask for.
Onto stages
Audition-ready
For the am-dram and musical-theatre inclined, the class doubles as year-round audition preparation — many students discover this ambition mid-term.
Or purely for you
Plenty never perform anywhere but the studio and lose nothing — the style's joy is complete either way.
Jazz in Cambridge FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Where in Cambridge is the jazz class? +
At a central studio between Market Square and Parker's Piece with the sprung floor jazz technique wants. The exact venue comes with your booking.
How much does it cost? +
A flat £8 each week you come — and only the weeks you come. No terms, no memberships.
Can I join as a beginner? +
Yes — every technical element is taught with an honest entry version, and the choreography is layered so first-timers dance the core while stronger dancers add the flourishes. The ladder is there when you want the next rung.
Is this musical theatre jazz or commercial jazz? +
The class works the whole spectrum — Broadway-style numbers one month, sharper contemporary stage jazz the next — because the underlying technique is identical and the variety keeps everyone growing.
What should I wear? +
Fitted-ish clothes you can stretch and kick in — leggings and a t-shirt are standard. Jazz shoes are ideal eventually; clean trainers or bare feet work to begin.
Do I need to be flexible? +
No — you need to be willing to stretch, which is different. Range improves weekly with the warm-up and cool-down work, and every kick and leap has a version for your current body.
Will this help with shows and auditions? +
Directly — jazz is the audition language of musical theatre, and the class trains the turns, kicks and performance quality casting panels look for. Local society members use it exactly this way.
What music do you use? +
Show tunes, big-band swing, and current pop with theatrical bones — whatever serves the number being taught, rotated monthly.
