Dance Features

The essence of jazz dance movements is a free and simple expression, which directly expresses the inner feelings through the shaking, trembling and twisting of the body. Just like when we hear music we like, we can express our emotions naturally from the heart, and our bodies can't help but move with the rhythm of the music, like snapping our fingers, swaying our heads and stamping our feet, sometimes we are excited and intense, and sometimes we are slowly and gently blending into the music.

Jazz dance is a fast and dynamic rhythmic dance. It is an extroverted dance, unlike the introverted dance performed by classical ballet or modern dance.

Jazz dance is a kind of dance that mainly pursues happiness, liveliness and vitality. Its characteristic is that it can be danced freely. It does not have to be confined to one form and adhere to a fixed posture like traditional classical ballet. However, it is different from disco dance, which is a completely self-enjoyed dance. It still has a law in freedom. For example, it will cooperate with jazz music to express emotions, and also use or imitate other dance techniques; such as in terms of footwork and movement, it applies the movement positions and principles of ballet, the sensitivity of tap dance techniques, the contraction and relaxation of the body in modern dance, the steps and hip swinging of Latin dance, and the movement of the upper body in oriental dance, etc.
