About this event

Vernacular Jazz is one of the foundational social dances that helped shape the rhythms, musicality, improvisation, and movement vocabulary found in many street and club dance styles today. In this class, students will explore classic jazz steps, rhythm training, improvisation, and social dance traditions while learning about the Black American communities that created them. At Rikud, we believe understanding where dance comes from is just as important as learning the moves. By studying Vernacular Jazz, dancers deepen their understanding of groove, expression, and the cultural lineage that connects jazz, hip hop, and breaking.

Small groups, caring teachers, and thoughtfully designed days filled with storytelling, movement, and play. New Themes Every Week - Each week is built around a story kids may already love or are excited to discover, brought to life through acting, dance, art, and imaginative play. This camp is a great fit if your child: loves imaginative play enjoys music, movement, or storytelling is confident, shy, or somewhere in between benefits from a smaller, more supportive environment A Weekly Share for Families - At the end of each week, families are invited to a short, relaxed sharing of what the children have been exploring.
