What is the difference between the musical theatre, hip hop and jazz classes?

Musical Theatre - very stylized and specific to the show the students are studying, more character dance.

Hip Hop - street, freestyle, individualized, less technical

Jazz - the more technical of the three, where students will learn proper body placement for all forms of dance (the foundation for jazz). Students work on flexibility for big kicks, layouts, mutiple turns etc. Foot work from step ball change to more advanced combinations.
