Announcing the Introduction of All New Jazz Classes
U@MQ Active is delighted to announce the introduction of new Jazz classes starting on 18 June 2009. With the huge success of both Body Jam and Hip Hop and the huge dance craze that is sweeping the nation, we have decided to introduce something new to the Centre.
The sessions will be taught by the fantastic Louie George, a teacher at the Sydney Dance Company, who comes with a great reputation.
The sessions will be on a Thursday evening with Beginners Jazz at 6:30pm and Beginners Jazz / Hip Hop at 7:30pm. These sessions will be very popular, so we advise for patrons to arrive early to get your spot.
For those people that want to take the sessions further and develop their dancing skills we will also be running short courses on a Sunday. These sessions will have a smaller attendance and teach you more dancing skills and techniques.
The session times are Jazz at 1:00pm and Jazz / Hip Hop at 2:00pm. The courses only cost $80 for 8 weeks and will be a huge amount of fun! The first courses will commence on 28 June, so avoid the rush and get your place in this great new addition to our services.
