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.

Jazz Dance is American Dance
