Jazz is a sassy dance full of sass and spice. It’s a fusion of modern dance, ballet, Latin styles, Caribbean traditional dance, African American vernacular, swing, and more. Jazz is fun and versatile for both newbies and experienced dancers, so it’s perfect for anyone looking to dance more.
It has evolved with popular music throughout history and has been influenced by all the genres that have emerged over the past century. One of the defining characteristics of jazz is the syncopated rhythm, popularized in the early 20th century by legends like Louis Armstrong, and improvisation, which is the hallmark of jazz music.
Jazz dance is danced at low and high energy, so it’s a thrill for dancers. At Miami Dance Project, we focus on leg strength and endurance, which are the keys to mastering jazz dance.
