Jazz I chose the form of dance called Jazz because it is the most fun to work with. Jazz dance is more of my style because it isn’t slow‚ it’s more of an upbeat exciting dance to learn.

Instead of learning one dance‚ Jazz is all the dances put together‚ and that is why it is the most fun of all. Jazz

Jazz and blues are musical genres or styles that can also be regarded as two distinct American musical traditions. They are interrelated most likely because of the fact that they originated from the American South. The confusion in discerning the two genres is probably because of the numerous music crossovers that artists do these days. Hailing from New Orleans‚ jazz music was first known as “jass” then later dropped the two “ss” into “zz” which means “cool.” During the later part of the 19th century
