DESCRIPTION:During this jazz funk class, the focus is on feeling your fantasy, 
 baby.\n\nJazz Funk is an industry-style dance form that pulls from many 
 movement styles including hip-hop, jazz, heels, commercial dance, and 
 contemporary performance. This class is all about feeling hot hot hot in 
 your body, whether that’s soft, sharp, sultry, silly, powerful, or all of 
 the above.\n\nWe’ll kick things off with a 10ish-minute warm-up to get 
 our bodies ready to move. Expect cardio, isolations, stretching, and 
 exercises designed to wake things up and get everything juicy and 
 alive.\n\nThen we dive into choreography.\n\nThis class is leveled at 
 intermediate due to its quick pace and limited movement breakdown. That 
 said, participants are always encouraged to make the choreography their 
 own. Take what feels good, shift what doesn’t. Your body, your 
 rules.\n\nWe’ll end each class by dancing the choreography in small and 
 large groups, giving everyone space to fully dance while feeling supported 
 by the collective energy in the room.\n\nThis series is designed as a 
 4-week progression. Across the four weeks, participants will learn two 
 choreography phrases:\n\nWeeks 1–2 (7/29 + 8/5): Choreography Phrase 
 One\nWeeks 3–4 (8/12 + 8/19): Choreography Phrase Two\nParticipants are 
 welcome to drop in for individual classes, but attending the full series is 
 encouraged for the fullest experience.\n\nDuring the final class on Week4 
 (8/19), we’ll also have a videographer filming the last 20ish minutes of 
 class. Participation in filming is completely optional. The footage is 
 intended as both documentation and a tool for growth, reflection, and 
 celebrating your dancing together.\n\nThis is a supportive and affirming 
 space for queer and trans embodiment, exploration, pleasure, confidence, 
 and performance energy.\n\nABOUT JESS BOZZO\nJess Bozzo (they/them) is a 
 trans and queer multidisciplinary artist based in the SF/Bay Area. Their

 at studios and festivals across the Bay Area, including Full Out Studios,
