JAZZ MOVES

Move forward with the Complete Jazz Class Syllabus

A.T.O.D. have developed a unique approach to educating our students in a classroom environment.

Jazz is a continually changing and evolving genre encompassing many styles such as Broadway, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, Funk and Lyrical to name a few.

Our new and innovative system of training encompasses all styles from foundation Jazz to the very latest Moves.

The focus and continuity of the jazz class and the training and development of your students does not need to change in order to prepare students for examinations.

This is the Complete Jazz Class Syllabus!

The Syllabus -

• incorporates but is not limited to a comprehensive warm-up; stretches; floor and corner work including turns, kicks and jumps; historical steps; up to the minute moves; combinations; progressions and dances
• progresses systematically and builds strength, energy and attack
• is designed to technically develop students to individually reach their full potential whether on a recreational, professional or teaching level
• is designed to enhance individual creativity with student choreography and improvisation included in major levels
• includes teachers own choreography or the opportunity to use the set dances provided

The Syllabus includes

Levels 1 - 12 + a Performance Award

Introductory notes including history and terminology

Extensive teaching notes including an anatomical glossary & index

The use of cane, hat, chair, chorus shoes and more

The Syllabus was created by the Jazz Moves Core Committee with the first 9 levels released in 2007.  The work has been widely acclaimed both in Australia and overseas. 

Paul Malek has created the major levels which will be released in January 2008.
