Jazz Dance is American Dance

Jazz dance is a Made in America dance form that has evolved with our history and absorbed our cultures. It has grown from the streets of New Orleans to Vaudeville, to Broadway musical theater, and to the concert stage. It incorporates the fluid lines of ballet, juxtaposed with the power and passion of high-energy, high-impact movement. Jazz dance is athletic, stirring and powerful. Experience the power and passion of jazz dance in our Dancin' on Broadway show!

The show is family friendly and is great for dancers, performing arts students, and jazz dance enthusiasts of all ages.

Please check back here over the next few months for more information.
