Jazz Dance Classes London: Learn, Express, and Shine with ECD

At European College of Dance, we believe that dance is more than movement—it’s a form of expression, confidence, and personal growth. Our Jazz Dance Classes London are designed for adults who want to explore modern jazz and lyrical jazz while building solid technique and stage experience. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate dancer, our classes provide a friendly, professional environment where every student can thrive.

Why Choose Our Jazz Dance Classes

We at ECD take pride in offering exceptional dance training inspired by international standards. Our founder, Angelo Ruggieri, has performed with prestigious European companies and produced international shows, giving students unique opportunities to experience real stage performances. This focus on performance opportunities sets our Jazz Dance Classes London apart from other dance schools.

Our classes emphasize the fusion of ballet discipline and modern dance freedom, ensuring students develop both technical precision and artistic expression. From arm and foot coordination to spatial awareness, each session is carefully structured to help dancers grow holistically.

Our Modern Jazz method is inspired by Matt Mattox, a legend who combined ballet expertise with jazz innovations. Students experience a style influenced by flamenco, tap, and contemporary dance, giving them the freedom to express individuality while mastering core jazz dance techniques like isolation and driving rhythm.

What to Wear

For maximum comfort and flexibility, students should wear form-fitting dancewear, such as leggings, fitted tops, or dance shorts. Jazz shoes or socks are recommended to allow smooth floor movements and proper body alignment observation. Please avoid lotions or creams that could make the floor slippery.
