JAZZ
Jazz dance has its roots in Africa, from where it came to America through slaves. There the slaves continued their dances and mixed them with influences from South America and the American southern states. It became a style mix of African dance, modern dance and ballet. The dance style conveys freedom and willpower and was mainly influenced by the multicultural lifestyle of 1940s New York. The characteristics of jazz dance are polyrhythmic, polycentric and improvisation. Dance styles such as Charleston or tap dance were also part of jazz dance in the early days. Today, jazz is divided into modern jazz, contemporary jazz, lyrical jazz, funky jazz, street jazz and musical jazz. Characterized by intensive footwork and fast movement sequences, jazz is one of the energetic - lively dance styles. It also trains the perception of dynamics, space and time. It is an innovative dance style that is constantly evolving with its tendency to improvise.
