Jazz dance and its inherent music is recognized as one of the
original and most potent art forms of the last two centuries. From
its African roots to our present-day global dance community, the
jazz idiom has afforded a cross-fertilization with all other
artistic, cultural and social representations within the arts
industry, providing an accessible dance platform for dancers,
teachers and creatives to enjoy both recreationally and
professionally. The Essential Guide to Jazz Dance offers a
practical and uncomplicated overview to the multi-layered history,
practices and development of jazz dance as a creative and artistic
dance form. It covers the incredible history and lineage of jazz
dance; the innovators, choreographers and dance creatives of the
genre; specifics of jazz aesthetic, steps and styles; a detailed
breakdown of a practical jazz dance warm-up and technical
exercises; creative frameworks to support development of jazz dance
expression and aesthetic; performance and improvisation; jazz music
and musical interpretation, and finally, choreographing and
creating jazz works. With over 230 colour photos and a wealth of
tips and advice, this new book will be an ideal reading companion
for dancers of all abilities, dance teachers, choreographers as
well as all jazz dance enthusiasts.
