Shaped by Broadway and show dance, it is a versatile dance today that is constantly evolving: from classic jazz to contemporary or street jazz. Typical elements include rhythmic steps, isolated movements, and captivating choreographies. Jazz Dance is both a show dance and a workout for the body and expressiveness, ideal for anyone looking for dance with power and personality.
What does jazz dance look like?
Jazz dance is characterized by quick changes of direction, jumps, turns, isolation exercises, and the combination of fluid and precise movements. The dance works extensively with body isolation (shoulders, hips, rib cage), which promotes flexibility and control.
The basic technique is built up step-by-step in the jazz dance course, so no prior experience is necessary. As experience grows, complex choreographies can be developed.
