At our studio, the Level/grade 3 dancers who are 9/10 can do all of these moves, so i think they would be fairly basic. There are way more steps i could mention that all the little dancers can do but cant name them all can i!

Answer 3

It would be best just to take a couple Jazz classes at a local studio.

But You Need to Learn all the Jazz leaps and turns. And I cant show you these in an answer haha. Try a studio.
