 The technique of jazz dance

Jazz dance is a mix of various styles of dance, particularly ballet. Agile and strong footwork is necessary to perform Jazz dances. When you find someone performing Jazz, you will notice that some of the movements are mainly taken from other popular styles of dance such as ballet and hip-hop.

Jazz dancing lessons begin with basic ballet movements to develop the equilibrium and control of the body. Students are encouraged to look for their own balance to be able to perform difficult movements without getting out of balanced. Spotting is also taught to new students to give them the ability to perform pirouettes while still being balanced.


there are no definite or structured dance movements in Jazz. They are encouraged to use their own creative side as well as their interpretative ideas to create steps. Although, choreographers of Jazz always make their students go through difficult practices to enhance the dancer’s leg power as well as body stability.
