Enrichment courses offered for Farmington Public School employees ONLY!
From Liz Minnelli to Lady Gaga, from the Broadway boards to halftime at the Super Bowl, jazz dance steps sashay their way into all kinds of choreography. Jazz dance is exuberant, expressive and excellent exercise for both the body and the brain. In this class, you'll learn the basics of jazz dancing with FCE veteran dance and wellness instructor Amy Perales in a fun and non-judgemental atmosphere. We will learn basic jazz dance terminology and steps, putting those to music and building a routine from week to week. Wear clothes that you can move comfortably in. Jazz dance shoes are not necessary, but are recommended for a more authentic experience.
Amy has been dancing her whole life. She began her teaching career at Von Tobel School, Becker Community School & Merluzzi’s School of Dance, all in Las Vegas, Nevada. She later returned home to Connecticut to open Spotlight Dance Center which later expanded into Spotlight Art Dance & Wellness. She then made the conscious decision to close the studio during the pandemic. She continues to teach full time to adults only, throughout Connecticut at various locations.
