Jazz
ALL THAT JAZZ!
Bob Fosse made it a household name on Broadway and in the movies. And even though jazz has its roots in the ballet technique, it is a forever–changing genre of creative movement that exploded in the 1920s after World War 1. From the days of the "flapper" to the "lost generation" of young soldiers returning home from the battlefields to New Orleans, St. Louis and Memphis, jazz became the dance of choice. It was and is the vehicle for dancing the shimmy, the rag, the Charleston and the fox–trot. Jazz is the dance of the "Big Band" era, and today it is more popular than ever.
The Woodbridge School of Dance is proud to present a jazz program that is spirited, contemporary and comprehensive, designed to give students the technique, rhythm and style basics to progress to advanced combinations and explore different jazz styles. From warm–ups to traveling steps and combinations, jazz is most enjoyable if students also study ballet.
