Meisha Lee

STYLE: Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, Jazz Funk, Technique, Lyrical

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Jazz – thorough warm up, conditioning and advance stretches. Progressions will include thorough explanations of the technique and individualized corrections, pausing to explain what we can improve on before we go back on the other side. Metaphors used throughout the class to make the corrections more tangible and processable in the student’s mind. Jazz Combo- Emphasis on clean lines, attack and technique. Fast upbeat routines that bridge classic jazz and the contemporary jazz we see on tv today. Lyrical combos -Classic lyrical (jazz and ballet technique) with contemporary influence. Emphasis on fluid transitions (like a run on sentence). Clean lines and technique a must. Hip Hop combo- Emphasis on dynamics and levels. The balance of strong clean lines (that are seen on tours/commerical dance) and grooves which are extremely under rated these days!
