About Jazz Jazz Class Schedule
Jazz dance developed in the early 1900’s as both
African and European peoples began to mix their dance traditions.
Africans focused on rhythms and torso movement and Europeans on musical
harmonies, folk and social dances.
Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, consisting of unique moves, fancy footwork, big leaps and quick turns. To excel in jazz, dancers should have a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.
