“Teaching exclusively for Pineapple, Jaye Elster returns to London with her signature Theatre Jazz class.
Created in response to demand, these 90 minutes focus on what dancers have asked for: more dancing, more escapism, and more opportunities to keep your brain sharp.
With a shorter warm-up than most classes, we cut straight to the combo - just like in the audition room. Feel-good theatre choreography is taught clearly and given the time it needs to move from first learning to performance-ready, leaving the final 15 minutes for you to let rip into the combo.
Graduates - stay fresh.
Pros - stay sharp.
Week by week, watch audition nerves begin to fade as “cutting to the combo” starts to feel second nature.
No filming unless announced one week in advance.“
