Why Jazz representing Dance so well?
Jazz dance is one of the best styles to represent the broader history of dance, especially in the context of 20th-century Western popular and performance dance.

1. Jazz has Deep Historical Roots
   Jazz dance originated from African American vernacular dance and is intertwined with the history of social, political, and cultural movements — from slavery and resistance to the Harlem Renaissance and the civil rights era.
2. Jazz's Evolution Through Decades, you will experience it with us together, let us travel with time from Charleston, over broadway to street styles. Jazz has absorbed and reflected each era’s spirit.
3. Cross-Genre Influence, Jazz connects with: Ballet (in technique), Tap (in rhythm), Hip-Hop (in groove and street culture) & Contemporary (in emotional depth). It’s like a living archive of dance evolution.
4. Performance + Social + Individual Expression
   Few styles balance technique, improvisation, storytelling, and social movement the way jazz does. Students can dance through history while building skills, cultural understanding, and creativity.
