This course is an introduction to the movement vocabulary and style of jazz, a performance-oriented form. Students of jazz dance learn to incorporate balletic and modern dance techniques into the specialized jazz style.

The course includes an historical survey of jazz dance from its roots in Africa through vaudeville, musical theater, movies and today’s jazz artists.
