Hey, guys! Today we’re doing some intermediate Jazz, so make sure you’re in an area with lots of space, and if you can’t find an area like that, it’s okay!! It’s time to dance!!💖💖
- Start in parallel with your right foot on releve. (Feet together with your RIGHT heel lifted.)
- Now take your right foot and step back to a diagonal position facing the right corner of the room. Left foot steps forward. This is called ball change. So it’s basically step back on one foot and step forward with the other foot.
- As you do your ball change your arms come up to an L position.
- Kick your right leg to the side, lean forward, and make sure your right arm is parallel with your leg. Don’t lean too far forward. Just a little. The other arm is just down. (Tilt kick.)
- Cross your right leg in front and turn to the left.
- Stop turning when you reach the right side of your room.
- Do a chassé with your right foot and take another step with your left foot and do a center leap. A chassé is a step-together-step and a center leap is where you’re in a straddle position in the air with your arms to the side.
- Land on your right foot with a bent knee and step back with your left foot.
- You should be facing the left side of your room.
- Now do another chassé with your right foot. (Step-together-step.)
- Face the front.
- Take your left knee and place it on the floor. Now put your left hip down. Roll to your RIGHT. So you should roll towards the back of the room and put your right knee down, left foot steps over and you get up.
- Ball change forward with your right foot and ball change back with your right foot.
- Take one step forward if you want to turn to the left or two if you want to turn to the right. Do a double or single jazz turn. (Your right foot comes up to your left knee and you turn with your arms in a circle shape. Your right knee is parallel.)
- Hit a pose on “I”
- Chaîné turn on relevé, then another on plié. (For chaîné turns take one step to the side and make half a turn and take your left foot and turn to the front.)
- Regular leap out of the last turn.
- Chassé to the side with your right leg and while facing back.
- Twist to the front and chassé to the left.
- Hit three different poses.
- And you’re done‼️‼️
Let’s try it with music!!
Dancing for Everyone.
