Luigi Jazz Technique

Luigi jazz technique is a 45-minute series of warm-ups designed to create a strong, flexible and centered physique. Luigi, who is now in his seventies and still teaching in New York, created this classical jazz technique. Stars who have studied with Luigi include John Travolta, Liza Minnelli and countless others. Some background in dance is helpful, but not necessary, to learn this elegant jazz dance style. Each class includes optional jazz combinations in the last 15 minutes of class.

Attire: Wear comfortable clothing such as yoga or dance pants and a top. At the Arlington studio we sell beautiful bamboo tops and bottoms suitable for dance classes. You will want to buy a pair of jazz shoes. Jazz shoes and dance sneakers can be worn for any of our dance classes, providing comfort, warmth and support.

Instructor: Kara Keating

Location: Arlington Studio

Harbinger Dance Company

For those who are interested, Movement Arts' Harbinger dance company offers performance opportunities. Rehearsals are held immediately following Jazz class and at other scheduled times.

Harbinger Dance company is the performing group that naturally emerged from the Luigi jazz class. The group meets directly after jazz class, and at other scheduled times. We work on original choreography, and then rehearse until we are ready to perform. Harbinger Dance has participated in the Performing Arts Center Grand Opening, the Arlington Street Fair, Cedarfest, and other venues. We welcome invitations from the community to perform. Our style could best be described as jazz/modern fusion dance. We are always seeking new members of the company. If you have interest in performing, we recommend that you sign up for the jazz class first. The Luigi Jazz style is our company warm-up.
