Step up for dance classes

Dance on over to the Dance! And All That Jazz! studio in Newport to register for fall dance classes this Friday and Saturday, Aug. 23 and 24.

Classes are for beginners and seasoned dancers and will offer guidance in a wide range of styles including jazz, contemporary, tap, ballet, musical theater, ballroom and hip hop. Creative dance is available for three to five-year-olds and adult classes include jazz, tap and ballroom. The studio offers a snack bar for students to purchase healthy treats before classes. 

“The 11 studio instructors are a very creative group who work extremely hard to build strong, disciplined dancers,” said Teri Jernigan, director of Dance! And All That Jazz!  “We like to consider ourselves family, helping the students learn the art of dance and to feel proud of their accomplishments. Most of our students return year after year and it is so fun and exciting for us as instructors, to watch them find their niche and develop their own, special style.”

Registration is from 2 to 6 pm on Friday, Aug. 23, and 10 am to 2 pm on Saturday, Aug. 24. Dance! And All That Jazz! is located at 630 SW Hurbert Street. Classes will begin Monday, Sept. 9. For more information, go to dancandallthatjazz.art or call 541-265-6168.
