Class Structure
Beginners Class — 60 Minutes
Long and warm
A dancer's preparation — isolations, lunges, lengthening — because jazz spends range and power freely and expects them paid for up front.
Across the floor
Travelling work on the diagonal — battements, chaîné preparation, jazz runs — the machinery every number borrows from, serviced one pass at a time.
The number in hand
Choreography from the stage tradition — sharp, shaped and unapologetically theatrical — taught in sections with its dynamics kept intact.
Sell it
The same material performed rather than executed — focus up, lines finished, intention visible from an imaginary back row.
Stretch and encore
Range work for the ambitious, easy release for everyone — and the number's hook stuck in every head on the way out.
About Jazz Classes in Eastbourne
Jazz is the theatre's native dance — kicks, turns, leaps and isolations arranged to be watched, polished until they gleam. Our Eastbourne classes build it from technique upward: proper preparation for the flashy vocabulary, then real numbers spanning classic show style to sharp modern stage jazz.
This is a coast that still stages a genuine summer season, and jazz is the style all those stages run on. The class serves both ambitions equally: beginners get honest scaffolding — every kick has a starter height, every turn a preparation — while performers-in-waiting get the audition toolkit and the polish habits.
£8 per class — the only season ticket is turning up.

Why Choose Jazz in Eastbourne?
Show skills
Projection, finish and stagecraft are taught alongside technique — jazz makes performers, not just dancers.
The versatile base
Jazz technique underwrites musical theatre, commercial and half of contemporary — one class feeding four ambitions.
Power and range
Kicks and leaps build explosive strength; the stretch work builds the range to spend it — fitness with a finish on it.
£8 flat
Per class, no terms — consistent for regulars, forgiving for busy weeks.
Your Jazz Journey
From first class to confident dancer — here is how it usually goes.
Engine running
Trust in the basics
Walks, turns and preparations reach dependable — the diagonal work banking its first returns.
Number one, owned
A complete piece of stage choreography in the body, style choices included — premiered nightly in kitchens.
Through the gears
Bigger ask, bigger answer
Turn count rises, kicks gain altitude, the first leaps leave the ground — capability compounding on schedule.
Light and shade
Where the music snaps, you snap; where it pours, you pour — dynamics stop being decoration and start being the point.
Delivery mode
Finish everything
Ends of lines, ends of phrases, ends of numbers — the finishing habit that reads as professionalism from any seat.
Run the show
Whole numbers, full commitment, minimal recovery — conditioning that doubles as rehearsal for real stages.
Take it somewhere
The town has stages
Societies, seasons and showcases wait locally for anyone whose ambition points that way — the class is their training wing.
Or keep it private
A weekly hour of kicks, brass and polish needs no audience to justify itself — many students never seek one.
Jazz in Eastbourne FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Where is the jazz class in Eastbourne? +
At a studio on the Devonshire Quarter side of town — the theatre end, appropriately — with sprung flooring. Address confirmed at booking.
How much does it cost? +
£8 per class — the only season ticket is turning up. No terms, no memberships.
Can I start from zero? +
Yes — nothing is taught without a beginner's version alongside it, and the choreography is written so the simplest reading still looks finished. Ambition can climb whenever it likes; the floor holds either way.
What flavour of jazz is taught? +
The full stage spectrum — classic show style with its kicks and lines one month, sharper contemporary stage jazz the next — because the underlying technique is one machine with many outputs.
What should I wear on my feet? +
Bare feet or clean trainers to start; jazz shoes are the natural upgrade once you're committed. Clothing is simply whatever stretches with you.
How flexible do I need to be? +
Only as flexible as you currently are — range is trained in every warm-up and cool-down, and each kick and leap has a version for the body you brought.
Will this help with local shows and auditions? +
Yes — panels watch for clean turns, honest kicks, finished lines and an awake face, and those four things are this class's daily bread. For society members and season hopefuls, it's year-round preparation.
What's the music? +
Swing standards, brassy showstoppers and modern tracks with stage DNA — the set changes with each new number, roughly monthly.
When does the Eastbourne class start? +
Slots are being confirmed now — leave your details via the contact page or on 07759 656300 and you'll get the day, time and studio at first release.
