Classical Foundations: Jazz & Contemporary

The word ‘technique’ is thrown around a lot in the dance world, from scholarship auditions to dance competitions and the weekly dance class, dancers are encouraged to work on their ‘technique’ as a marker of how they can improve and be a successful dancer.

But what does this mean? And why is it important?

Technique is about the execution of your artistic work, it’s the foundation of the movement to ensure that as you grow and improve you are using the correct positioning with safe movements that prevent injury and over extension.
