Jazz Across the Floor Progressions – Beginner Level by April Atherton

Jazz Across the Floor Progressions – Beginner Level by April Atherton gives teachers a structured set of across-the-floor exercises for beginner jazz dancers ages 6–9.

The collection includes 10 jazz progressions, each taught at two levels, giving teachers 20 total passes to work with. This makes it easy to adjust the material to the needs of the class, introduce skills gradually, and continue building technique as students become more confident.

Each progression combines jazz vocabulary, coordination, musicality, and traveling movement. Video breakdowns demonstrate how to teach each pass, while performance videos show the completed movement with the accompanying instrumental music.
