    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. I’m more interested in hip-hop instead of slow boring dances. Jazz can really keep you entertained also. Jazz is much different from any other dance you’ll learn‚ and in my opinion the best dance. Instead of learning one dance‚ Jazz is all the dances put together‚ and that is why it is the most fun of all. Jazz
