Jazz Dance Teacher Starter Pack

This Dance Teacher Starter Pack is designed for new JAZZ dance teachers who need a starting point in developing their classes.

This is, by no means, a comprehensive resource. You’ll have to continue to train and seek other educational resources. This pack includes:

- What You Should Know Before You Teach

- Elements of Jazz Dance

- Suggested Class Levels (Great for studio owners as they plan their studio offerings!)

- Class Timeline Options (A must-have if you're wondering how to schedule your classes!)

- A list of Technique Warm-Up Exercises

- A list of Stretching Exercises

- A list of Progressions

- A list of Center Skills

- A list of Conditioning Exercises

Remember that each style of dance has many variations – one teacher’s “saut de chat” is another teacher’s “leap”. Dance is also constantly evolving – every day a new skill or move is created, especially in a style like jazz or hip hop.

Enjoy the art of dance!

I hope this Starter Pack will be helpful to you!
