Hello! On behalf of Expert Village, I'm Kelly Anne and I will be demonstrating beginning jazz dancing for you. This is my friend and partner Darryl; he will be assisting. There are many different styles of contemporary jazz dancing, from classical, Broadway, old Hollywood Vegas style, street jazz. Almost any different style you can think of, jazz incorporates it. When you're beginning your class, you're going to want to know what to wear. Jazz pants that comfortable that are easy to move in and warm clothes. You'll definitely want to dress in layers. Bring warm clothes such as sweaters, sweat pants because you want the body to warm up quickly and to stay warm while you're exercising so that your muscles won't cramp and get injured, and it aides your flexibility. Especially after the class, you want to keep your muscles from getting too tight when you cool down. After practice, you're going to definitely want to wear some slippers because you can't wear your dance shoes out on the street because they'll get dirty and then they'll dirty up the dance studio. I hope you enjoyed it and thank you for watching. I'm Kelly Anne of 56dance.com with my friend Darryl. Special thank you to Expert Village and the Goddess store for letting us use the studio.
