Jazz dance is no longer solely the domain of fan kicks and shimmies. The term “jazz” now incorporates a broad range of dance styles.
DurationJazz dance is no longer solely the domain of fan kicks and shimmies. The term “jazz” now incorporates a broad range of dance styles.
Prior to the 1950s, jazz dance was a style that originated from African American dance and in the 1950s “modern jazz dance” emerged, with roots in Caribbean traditional dance.
Jazz dance develops in parallel to popular music, with jazz being the physical embodiment of popular music of a given time.
It therefore continues to evolve and remain popular across the world and across age groups.
Rise Dance Company offers the opportunity for dancers to work through and sit the IDT Jazz Syllabus Exams. This is optional and does come with an exam cost.

Our classes focus on developing a strong Jazz technique where students are expected to have a basic knowledge of dance and a willingness to learn in a low-pressure environment. We do not at this stage study an exam syllabus.
