Pro Tip: Try a "Style Sampler"
Many studios (like Urban Beat Dance) offer weekend workshops where you can test multiple jazz substyles—from lyrical jazz to Afro-jazz—before committing to a full session.
Mulkeytown’s jazz dance community is as diverse as the genre itself. With classes held in historic theaters, sunlit modern studios, and even outdoor pop-up spaces during summer, there’s no wrong way to begin (or continue) your jazz journey. Lace up those dance shoes, and let the music move you!
