JazzDance for Everyone

About Luigi

Luigi is an internationally known teacher of jazz dance who created his own codified dance technique. His style is favored by many Broadway dancers, as well as actors and other entertainers, as a way to create a strong, flexible, fluid body that can move through music naturally and with ease. This jazz style could be called, “Classical Jazz,” as it was developed in the 1950’s and is still taught and practiced today.

Dancers who have a classical ballet background particularly appreciate this technique, as it has a similar feel to “doing a barre.” Class includes a 45 minute warm up and stretch series that is sure to leave you feeling longer, taller, stronger, and in the flow The nature of the Luigi technique is smooth and jazzy. After the technique, we do combinations to all kinds of music, from Louis Armstrong to Afro-Celt Sound System. Choreography is also created here, and future performing opportunities are available to those who are interested. In general, this class could be described as serious as well as fun, and low-key. We work hard and we feel great!
