Angela Carter teaches Master Jazz
A Jazz workshop was held at SUA Friday, August 31. Angela Carter, a professional dancer and choreographer who resides in Los Angeles and has worked on film and stage, taught students some of the finer points of jazz dance. In order to excel in jazz dance, a dancer must first learn the slower movements of ballet techniques to strengthen body and improve balance. Jazz is an extremely expressive form of dance and can be done in large groups as its more traditional form or cross over into lyrical, comtemporary or even hip hop. SUA is one of the few high schools in Ohio with a dance studio and a full-time dance instructor. Students are able to take a variety of dance classes for credit at SUA.
