Day 30: Use Pauses! We are so close to finishing our very late Jazzuary session. Today, the challenge was to take pauses during the dance. 🎵: You Make my Dreams (muted for copyright)

Day 29: arms above your chest! I tried to do many movements with my arms and highlight them while they are in the air. I normally let my arms just hang by my sides and this was a great reminder to use my arms during solo jazz. Let us know what you thought of today’s challenge below! 🎵: Alright, Okay, You Win by Count Basie (muted for copyright)

Day 26: Take more space! I usually take a lot of space as it is, but to me this translated to bigger arms, bigger steps, and some bigger gestures. Lots of fun! What does taking more space look like for you? Comment below or send us a video!

Day 24: Spins and Turns! Today I focused on adding in turns to my dance by adding in triple step turns, lock turns, stepping 180 turns, and a little jazz turn at the end. What did you add to your dancing today?

Day 18 brings us Play with Rhythm! I took a lot of this from my tap background, so you will see some rhythmic stomping, scuffing, and tapping, but tap is also a jazz dance and there is a lot of overlap! Enjoy, and experiment with rhythm on your own today! Tell us what you did in the comments or share a video!

Day 17: Dance Less! Sometimes the key to your dancing is to dance less and keep it simple! It's a great way to focus on what you're doing without getting overwhelmed
