Jazz Dance

Jazz dance is a performance dance technique and style that first emerged in the United States in the early twentieth century. Jazz dance may refer to vernacular jazz or to Broadway or theatrical jazz.

Today jazz dance is present in many different venues and different forms. Jazz dance thrives in dance schools and remains an essential part of musical theater choreography; it is sometimes interwoven with other dance styles as appropriate for the particular show.

Our Dance Families Thoughts

  • Thank you so much to you and your staff for helping us mold Taylor into the person she has become. Because of dance, she has gotten great parts as a dancer in theater starting as early as 3rd grade and on. She also played several leads and main characters in several theater productions because she is a triple threat as a singer, actor, and dancer.  You all should be honored for all the lives you've helped mold.
