Rooted in African American culture, jazz has evolved through the decades, borrowing from swing, blues, and even contemporary pop influences. It’s dynamic, upbeat, and unapologetically fun. Think smooth shuffles, snazzy kicks, and rhythmic turns — all while grooving to infectious beats.
What is Jazz Dancing?
Jazz dancing has a rich and vibrant history that reflects its roots in African American culture. Emerging in the early 20th century, jazz dance evolved alongside jazz music, blending African rhythmic influences with European dance traditions. It began as social dances like the Charleston and Lindy Hop during the roaring 1920s, becoming a symbol of freedom and expression during the Jazz Age.
Over time, jazz dance expanded into theatrical performances, shaped by legendary choreographers like Jack Cole, Bob Fosse, and Katherine Dunham. Their work introduced elements of ballet, modern dance, and bold theatricality, making jazz dancing a dynamic and versatile art form. Today, jazz dancing continues to evolve, blending classical techniques with contemporary influences, while maintaining its core essence of rhythm, individuality, and energy.
