ABOUT US
For more than three decades of artistic and pedagogic labor years in Venezuela and in Spain, Candy Jazz has been conceived as a place where children, teenagers and adults have the opportunity to learn, have fun and prepare themselves for the art of dancing, specializing in jazz dance in all its styles, using classic ballet as the primary preparation and tap as the swing of dance itself, looking forward to grow with all the different disciplines that form part of a dancer training. We also offer holistic and fitness training. As an institution we insist in cultivating values of responsibility, respect, discipline and above all, good manners.
BALLET
It's a choreographed dance set to classical music. Ballet classes, pointe shoes technique, pas de deux, and more.
JAZZ
Most fundamental dance form in the performing arts, prevailing in the chronology of contemporary musical art and invading styles such as Latin, commercial, afro, urban, modern, lyrical.
TAP
American dance style that uses rhythmical patterns of foot movement creating a musical tapping sound. Dancers create percussive rhythms using their feet by tapping and sliding the metal plates beneath their shoes.
FLAMENCO
Is an original art form from Andalusia, Spain; it was born as a fusion of marvelous and diverse cultures like: Gypsy, Arab, Christian and Jewish cultures.
Flamenco is a lively rhythm that takes a different shade depending on where the heart beats. It is an art form that combines dance, vocals and guitar. It is known for its emotional intensity, distinguished by its graceful arm movements, ferocious stomping, profound laments and strumming of the guitar.
As of today, Flamenco is widely appreciated and danced around the globe.
In 2010, Flamenco was declared by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
HIP HOP
Is an artistic street movement that encompasses areas like music, dance with its different styles, and certain types of painting, like graffiti. Dancers execute energetic, spontaneous, robotic, strong, acrobatic and funky movements inspired by a the strong and accentuated rhythm of its music. Hip hop dance battles are the main ingredient for each participant to show their best.
