What is JazzAddict?
JazzAddict is a dance syllabus, primarily used in Australasia and Hong Kong, that provides technical and performance training for dancers. It offers a progressive series of levels, from preschool to advanced, with a Teacher Training syllabus also available.
The syllabus is examination-based, requiring registered studios to enter students for annual assessments or examinations, as stated by Asia Pacific Dance Association (APDA). Levels are made up of a series of exercises including arm combinations, classical technique, floor work, turns, isolations, leaps, amalgamations and dances. All work is progressive and designed to develop co-ordination, strength, agility and style. Amalgamations include jazz, lyrical or contemporary, and musical theatre. (https://www.jazzaddict.co.nz/)
