Course Details

Jazz 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.

  • Hi, I’m Molly! I have had a passion and desire to dance ever since I was just three years old and I started out as a ballet, jazz and modern dancer! When I turned 8 I found hip hop/street dance and I fell in love with the music, diversity, attitude and style! I’d finally found a genre of dance that I could truly be myself with, I could be whoever and whatever I wanted, I could be girly, gangsta, fun – anything! After a while with an open mind and imagination I became more creative and began choreographing my own pieces, I LOVE to choreograph!
