Jazz dance is an fantastic choice for adult dancers who want to work up a sweat, learn to move with style and pizzazz, and enjoy upbeat music.

Jazz dance originated in the late 1800s / early 1900s in the US, drawing on the rhythms and movement of Africa.  Over the last century, it’s evolved and been influenced by social dance and popular music.  But at its heart, it is an earthy, grounded styles with contagious rhythms.
