Brendan Yeates

About

Brendan’s Jazz class blends musical theatre and jazz foundations with an industry-aware edge. Expect movement focused on performance and presence rather than just steps. Class begins with a 30-minute warm-up grounded in jazz technique and athleticism. This is followed by dynamic across-the-floor progressions and combination work drawing from the legacy of jazz dance pioneers while remaining rooted in today’s world. You will receive outcome-driven corrections and in a space where we train seriously, take risks, and refine your craft. Come ready to sweat, perform, and leave sharper than you arrived.
