JAZZ FUNK

55 min
Some of you might be wondering, what exactly is Jazz Funk? It is the fusion of basic jazz elements with a hip-hop twist. You don't keep your chest upright, you drop it low. You don't turn with your arms rounded and feet pointed, you throw your arms into new positions and keep your feet flexed. And most importantly, you don't just hit the beat---you learn how to ride it. By taking Jazz Funk, you will discover new ways to control and release your movements so your style has both precision and fluidity. It's time to take the old-school jazz you know and combine it with the new-school funk you want!
