So, recently i have been looking into dance lessons and nearby studios. I really want to work out but I don't want to join a gym. I rather do something like dancing, which is more creative and expressive.

I have taken ballet when i was younger, and thought maybe adult ballet for beginneers might be fun. Well unfortunately with the schedule i have, i haven't found a class that will fit into my schedule, i am still looking! I did find a class on saturdays which i would be able to take...."Broadway Jazz". I never took Jazz, nor do I really know much about it. I love Jazz music, but not too sure about Jazz Dancing. I know its a begineer adult class and it shouldn't be so hard at first, but i don't even know if i like jazz or what it entails. The woman whom i spoke with, is my former teacher from my younger days. She said the class is great and the instructor is young and everyone loves her and they have a lot of fun and its a FULL BODY workout. Sounds interesting but I'm nervous!! I told her I would call her within 24 hours lol. The first class for Broadway Jazz would start Sept. 11th! If it was ballet i wouldn't be nervous, but JAZZ?? I don't even know what Jazz attire is lol...

Has anyone taken jazz before?? Any info on it would be great!

hugs
mariko

I have never taken jazz but I would say, GO FOR IT!
Life is too short. You quit smoking and that is the hardest thing to do, I think you can do this too. Have faith in yourself. I know you can do it.
You have climbed a much bigger mountain than this.

My daughter takes jazz, tap and ballet...and she would quit everything and just do jazz if her teacher would let her!! Wink

A lot of jazz stems from ballet, I bet you'll love it! Go for it!!!

think Bob Fosse - ever see the movie "All That Jazz"? it was a semi-autobigraphical film Fosse made back in the late 70s - the movie wasn't that great, imo (even though it won some oscars), but i seem to remember there being a lot of jazz dancing; very high energy stuff. click this link to check out the imb review - maybe you can find it at a video store, or request it through the library.
