Open Classes

When all examinations are completed, students may opt to join our Open Jazz, Tap, Ballet and Contemporary classes. These classes will only be available to students who have completed their training at Jitterbugs Swingapore®. Classes will consist of open unset technique and choreography, and will serve to maintain technique and continue to develop dancers to enter into pre-professional and/or professional dance programs and/or companies, continue students’ development towards becoming a professional teacher, or maintain an interest in dance whilst continuing to pursue another career.
