Passion for Dance

There is a movement in New York, Los Angeles and other dance venues to shift the focus of dance from competition and trophy awards and return it to the passionate expressive art that it is meant to be. Competitions and conventions can be a great place to learn and improve skills as long as dancers maintain the ability to have a passion for their skill and to have the ability to think on their feet. The focus of auditions and some competitions has shifted and many judges and directors are looking for dancers with the "It" Factor. This combined with technical perfection creates a winning combination. Dancers should be provided with an atmosphere that nurtures stage presence and helps them keep their passion for dance alive.

At Studio Pizazz we support this movement and strive to make sure our dancers develop a passion for their art, as well as being able to interpret passionate choreography and learn new steps quickly. Our classes include components of fun, freestyle dance, acting and character development, and the ability to have input while still maintaining enough discipline to produce highly technical skills and competitive dancers. We are focused on balance in each of our dancers, allowing them to be able to put on passionate performances and avoid robotic ones. Our goal is not to put trophies on the walls but to focus on giving each dancer the skills to be able to love what they do and share this love with the audiences they perform for. We are focused on the joy of movement in all of our classes.
