As you can see, learning ballet is very important because dancers use the same type of technique in other styles. Whether they use it properly, or throw it all out of proportion, the basic steps still originate from ballet. Another style that uses great ballet technique is known as jazz.
Jazz is a style that originated in the late 1800's, but took popularity in the mid 1900's. The birthplace of jazz has various origins like New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis, and Kansas City. But New Orleans still remains the mains as the center of jazz. Today, the style of jazz is performed all over the world. Throughout Broadways, musicals, movies, and studios. The movements used in jazz are bold and dramatic. This style is a fun and energetic dance style that is usually danced to an upbeat song.
