Description

In this class, students will explore 2 very different, but equally fun and challenging, styles of dance! Half of the class time each week will be focused on tap, while the other half will focus on lyrical. 

Lyrical dance combines elements of ballet, jazz, and modern dance with an emphasis on strong emotions, fluid movements, and physical interpretations of lyrics of songs. 

Tap dance is its own style entirely! Musicality and rhythm are 2 key elements to the style. In this class, we’ll work on the different physical elements of tap and how they differ from other styles. 

Bring your dancing shoes and listening ears, we’ve got a lot to cover this session!

Jordan Higby is 26 years old and has been a teaching artist at CYT Tri-Valley since 2016. Jordan’s passion for the arts began at age 6 when she began dancing ballet at Livermore School of Dance. Now, almost 20 years later, ballet remains an integral part of who she is, so much so that she is now a ballet teacher on staff at Livermore School of Dance herself! She also enjoys dancing and teaching lyrical, jazz, musical theater, and tap dance! Aside from dance, Jordan is passionate about creative writing. Her love for creative writing began at age 15 during her high school creative writing class. She firmly believes that we all have stories to tell, and we all possess the ability to tell those stories! Jordan graduated from California Baptist University (CBU) in May of 2022 with academic honors with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies. She also holds a Master of Arts in Strategic Communication from CBU, just now graduating in December 2024. Her end goal is working in Social Services in the division of Child Welfare. No matter where her professional life takes her, she hopes to always have the time to teach and guide the next generation of performers!
