Adult Jazz Funk

About this class

Adult Jazz Funk (Ages 18+) Adult Jazz Funk is a high-energy fusion dance class that combines the technical foundations of jazz dance with the grooves, rhythms, and expressive qualities of funk and street dance culture. Rooted in the influence of funk music and styles such as popping, locking, waacking, and hip hop, Jazz Funk has evolved into one of the most popular commercial dance forms seen in music videos, concerts, television, and live stage performances. Designed for adults of all experience levels, this class focuses on developing rhythm, musicality, coordination, groove, and performance quality while building a strong understanding of the movement vocabulary that makes Jazz Funk unique. Students will explore isolations, body control, textures, dynamics, grooves, musical interpretation, and foundational elements inspired by funk styles and commercial dance training. At The MuVment Studio, we believe strong movement begins with strong foundations. Drawing from the principles of the Power Fusion Method, classes emphasize technique, body awareness, conditioning, mobility, and movement mechanics while helping students develop confidence and personal style. Students will learn how to shift between sharp and fluid movement qualities, explore rhythm and groove, and develop performance skills that support a variety of dance styles. Classes may include technical exercises, across-the-floor progressions, movement drills, and choreography combinations designed to help dancers apply their skills in an engaging and supportive environment. Jazz Funk is an excellent choice for dancers interested in commercial dance, music video choreography, stage performance, heels, cabaret, hip hop, and contemporary fusion styles.
