What is jazz dance? Introduction to jazz dance.

1, jazz dance, that is, American modern dance, is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance, which belongs to an extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance shown by classical dance and ballet. Jazz dance was originally an extension of African dance, brought to the United States by black people who were sold as slaves, and gradually evolved into a localized popular dance in the United States.

2. Jazz dance is mainly a dance that pursues pleasure, liveliness and vitality. Its characteristic is that it can jump freely, without being confined to one form like traditional classical ballet, and observing the inherent posture. With the development of American pop culture, the popularity of ballet and the promotion of Broadway culture, especially the emergence of street dance culture system, jazz dance has been completely different from the previous forms of vest, pants, shoes and crutches. After learning from others, he gradually formed his own unique style, which is no longer a free improvisation performance form. Michael Jackson, the king of pop, is an outstanding representative in the tide of the development of pop music and dance MV in the late 20th century. In order to meet the needs of modern performances, the previously completely liberalized style is gradually restricted by the laws and requirements of various styles, and becomes a style in which freedom and laws coexist.

3. Relationship with jazz: Jazz dance has nothing to do with jazz. Most of the music used in jazz dance is pop music or electronic dance music, not jazz.
