About Jazz
Jazz dance is a theatrical, energetic American performance style that evolved from African American vernacular dance traditions in the early 20th century during the era of vaudeville, Broadway, and the jazz age. Characterized by syncopated rhythms, dynamic isolations, powerful leaps and turns, and a showmanship quality designed to entertain and engage, Jazz is one of the most versatile and widely taught dance styles in the world. It forms the technical foundation of Broadway musical choreography, commercial dance, music video performance, and competitive dance. Jazz technique draws from Ballet for discipline and alignment while adding a uniquely American sense of rhythm, personality, and style. Specialized sub-styles including Theater Jazz, Street Jazz, and Jazz Funk bring distinct flavors to the genre. Classes range from beginner through professional level for children and adults alike, making Jazz accessible and deeply rewarding for every type of dancer at every stage of their journey.
