Class Description
Caleb’s class begins with a full jazz warm-up to build strength, activate technique, and prepare the body for performance. Dancers then dive into narrative, story-driven combinations rooted in character, musicality, and the timeless style of classic MGM movie musicals and traditional Broadway.

Rather than just mimicking steps, students are encouraged to embody the style and make it their own. With an energetic, supportive vibe, Caleb’s class balances technique and expression—inviting dancers to perform with clarity, confidence, and heart.

My classes often blend classical theater and jazz lineages with contemporary styles. Each class consists of a full, technical warm-up that incorporates stretching and strengthening to prepare the body for choreography. I firmly believe that class is a place to explore, create, and learn about yourself as an artist everyday, and I strive to make my class a positive and welcoming learning environment.

She is the co-founder of The Precision Dance Collective (www.precisiondancecollective.com) which hosts monthly workshops and annual performances with a focus on precision dance training.

Katie is currently a choreographer in New York City. Her work was recently performed for Pace University’s Commercial Dance DanceSpace Performance, BDC Professional Semester and Steps On Broadway Industry Showcase. She is on faculty at Steps on Broadway, Broadway Dance Center and is an adjunct professor at Marymount Manhattan College.

Class Description
Most importantly, Katie’s class is comfortable, safe, and fun. Because she creates this type of environment in every class, dancers can advance their education and work on high level precision jazz challenges and technique without any added or unnecessary pressure that does not facilitate technical growth. Katie’s class is best for dancers who want to learn and perform in a manner that reflects the modern day artistic and directive range of precision jazz. Students will not just learn one style of precision jazz or one technique to dance in “precision.” Rather, students will gain experience in the classroom rooted in the rich history and evolution of precision jazz while learning work within the variety of dance genres that, more often than ever in modern day, find their way to the precision form on stage, tours, music videos, theater, commercials, and more! The diversity of the precision jazz experience in Katie’s class reflects her belief that there is not just one way to be a professional dancer, not only one body type that should be a professional dancer, nor only one type of artist that can succeed in the dance industry.
 
With an emphasis on learning details, quality and musicality, Katie encourages all of her students to take the learning process into other classes to improve their ability to learn quickly and retain choreography.
All dancers are welcome in Katie’s class, from rookie dancers to well seasoned veteran performers.

Class Description
Vernacular jazz is the original jazz dance. It has some overlapping vocabulary with tap dance, and roots derived from West African dances brought to America during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Emphasizing rhythms, body movement, and agility, vernacular jazz was predominantly danced to jazz music during the swing era. Dancers performed vernacular jazz on stage and screen, and there is also a rich social tradition of dancers improvising together and trading steps in ballrooms.
