Ps2: When can I choose 1hour/week?
Throughout our history, more than 90% of DSJ adult students have been taking two consecutive classes. This ensures a more comprehensive practice of the fundamentals and the chance to learn a wider range of dance styles. However, we understand that some adults might have different schedule, budget, or level of interest. Therefore, you can choose one of the classes based on your individual schedule/budget. In terms of difficulty, although the majority of beginners can follow both classes, the content covered in the first hour is generally a bit more beginner-friendly compared to the second.
Questions and Answers
Useful Information
1.Does street jazz help lose weight?
Being a physically demanding dance, street jazz can obviously help you lose weight and tone your muscles. However, we encourage our participants do not focus on weight only since any body shape is beautiful if you can have strong posture by practicing street jazz. Other benefits you can gain by dancing are:
-
Boost your memory
-
Improves your flexibility and reduces stiffness
-
Reduces stress
-
Good for your heart
-
Keep energetic
-
Anti-aging
2.Do I need previous dance dance experience? Can I catch up if I lack of coordination? Will I be watched by peers during class?
What is the most important for adult learners is to stay interested, try new things bravely and develop a positive life habit out of dancing. It is important for new students to know that we are here to learn dance instead of performing or competition. The beauty of a class is to help you become better at skills, like coordination, muscle memory...We take class just because we are not perfect at it.
In fact, over 95% of adult participants at DSJ start from ZORO. Our class is very detail-oriented so that beginners can catch up while the experienced ones can hone movements by enough repeats.
3.Can age matter dance? How about if I lack of flexibility?
First, please refer to Question No. 2.
In fact, you can start at any age. There is a myth that if you want to be a dancer, you need to start very young. It is true that an earlier start allows you to get on track faster, which however is only important if you want to become a dance master. If your aim is to enjoy dance and develop it as your special skill, you will achieve it effortlessly by consistent and professional training at DSJ.
Besides, street jazz does not require extreme flexibility like split or backbend. For more info about flexibility in street jazz, please check Q&A part at kids and teens.(Question 3)
4.Life is busy or adults. What if miss a class or two?
1) Short dance combos get updated every 2 to 3 weeks in the first half school year.
2) When long choreographed dances are taught, participants will get reminder for attendance , especially for these who wish to perform well in the recital.
3)In case of occasional absences, it is possible for participants to catch up with the help of free class videos(with counts and with music).
5.Will I get performance opportunities?
Adult participants who commit for over half a school year are encouraged to attend the annual recital in late June.
6.Is there trial class?
You can try out the first class as a drop-in student for $20/hour, which is deductible when you choose to sign up for a package course.
