Class typically ends with a curtsey or bow to show respect to the teacher.
A form of dance in which the feet create rhythmic sounds. Class warm-up begins either center floor or at the barre, followed by stationary movements to enhance sound clarity, and recognize rhythm patterns.

Class concludes with a combination that reiterates the steps taught previously.

Students should expect a high energy class with upbeat music with a strong emphasis on jazz technique.
