If you're in search of innovative, athletic, and fun up to the minute movements done to popular music in an atmosphere of safe self-expression...Hip Hop is for you. We take traditional Jazz movements and give them some street style. Please be assured that here at Mary Lou Hale's, all choreography and music are age appropriate.
JAZZ...For Ages 9-Adult (Grades 4 & Up). Using pop music, Jazz is a high energy class which fosters stage presence and personality.
