NERVE DANCE CLASSES
JAZZ
Jazz. A fusion of dance styles and a multitude of history behind the genre.
Originating from African American and Caribbean traditional dance, Jazz has seen the greatest modern choreographers like Bob Fosse experiment and shape the style for future generations. Every transformation of the style inevitably traces back to one of these two distinct origins.
Jazz dance also evolves in parallel to the music of the world. A physical embodiment of a given time in history. It therefore continues to transform while remaining a dance style so on trend and rich with learnings.
The jazz of today and what is taught at NERVE is most commonly referred to as ‘commercial jazz’. Streams of contemporary hip hop combined with the retention of slick traditional jazz technique. NERVE Jazz classes train our students to an elite level. They provide a comprehensive insight into what is expected of a Jazz performer in todays industry.
HIP HOP
Hip Hop, like jazz, has continually morphed and evolved over time. From street dance roots, and most notably performed to Hip Hop music the style is rich with history.
Hip Hop’s limits as a genre are forever expanding through the creativity of the choreographer. Currently taught at NERVE is a commercial and modernised stream of Hip Hop.
NERVE HIP HOP DANCERS WILL DEVELOP THEIR CONFIDENCE AND PERFORMANCE QUALITY, THEY WILL LEARN TEXTURE OF MOVEMENT, TIMING AND INTRICATE COORDINATION BUT MOST OF ALL HOW TO ENTERTAIN!!
DOWN FOR A KILLER CLASS ALL ABOUT FUN…
NERVE HIP HOP IS FOR YOU.
CONTEMPORARY
Contemporary dance is a direct, physical embodiment of story telling. Extreme athleticism, evoking use of musicality and choreography that is driven by stimulus and narration.
NERVE Contemporary classes aim to train our dancers like artistic athletes. Students will draw from their technique and classical skills to build strength and control within every movement.
Students will become confident in their individual style as dancers, making stylistic choices through improvisation and developing their own choreographic flare.
Contemporary is a challenging class but an extremely rewarding one… if you’ve got the NERVE. It really does require ALL OF YOU to dive ALL IN.
Lyrical
Lyrical is a stream of modern dance coined by early choreographers who’s creativity saw an extension of classical ballet emerge. It focuses on the expression of the dancer married with musicality, specifically song lyrics.
Lyrical draws from jazz, ballet, modern dance and acrobatics to form a style of its own. A style that requires high level technique, muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance and a flexible range of motion of the body’s joints.
. NERVE Lyrical classes are targeted to our junior age groups, a stepping stone into the world of contemporary dance. Students will learn how to combine athleticism and performance quality to effectively convey a story.
Students will establish the first few puzzle pieces
in discovering their individual style of expression.
Technique
The seamless execution of any performance requires incredible amounts of ATHLETICISM
Maintaining correct anatomical alignment through cardiovascular endurance ensures our students can complete classes and performances safely.
the Flexibility developed in nerve technique classes is paramount to improving vital range of motion which drastically improves the aesthetics of a dancer’s movement and shapes.
During NERVE Technique classes we combine stretching, strength training, cardiovascular conditioning and advanced skill work to see you become the strongest dancer you can be… an elite performer.
The class that will see our NERVE students become precision performers.
