“ The individual pieces are from the dance classes and include all levels of dancing styles,” she said.

Of the many different types of dance to be performed during the recital, one will be executed by The Jazz II class.

“ The first piece is called Black Sweat, and the dancers will be performing to music by Prince,” she said.

The jazz dance is a combination of traditional jazz and hip hop with a definite jazz funk style, Sanders said.

A collaboration between the instructor and the students produced this lyrical jazz piece. w

This piece has a mixture of traditional jazz, ballet and modern dance combined into one dance, Sanders
said.
