All That Jazz

Program Details:
Follow the development of jazz from its roots in Africa to its many incarnations in American dance. Students first see the African dance steps and then watch as they transform into the Charleston, swing, disco and finally present day stomp. Students are introduced to polyrhythms and practice dance steps while learning about the cultural changes within the United States that affected jazz as a dance form.
