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!
