Being a dance style that originates from the popular culture of the day jazz is forever changing. While it is good to accomodate the latest trends there is much more to jazz dance. Having a syllabus to work from ensures that teachers do more than teach what they feel like on the day. In this way students are assured teaching that will help them develop progressively in jazz dance skills and technique.

The adap Jazz Dance Syllabus has at its base a strong technical component for the serious dancer. It also allows teacher flexibility in teaching the latest trends through student and teacher choreographed creative exercises and dance performances.

The adap work includes the history of jazz dance with the opportunity for students to experience music from various eras as well as dancing to the latest musical styles.

The syllabus has been developed by Petrina Cutt working in conjunction with a number of other jazz teachers. New Zealand born Petrina was excited about the prospect of dancing and writing and the final is a wonderfully developed and exciting program for jazz dancers of all ages. The adap Jazz Syllabus is one of the most comprehensive available and ensures a full learning experience for students.
