About the dance
Solo Jazz, aka Authentic Jazz, aka Vernacular Jazz is rooted in African dances and developed in the early 20th century along with jazz music. Our solo jazz classes are based on the vernacular jazz steps that originated from 1920s-40s. We learn the routines choreographed by old and contemporary jazz dancers, but also develop our improvisational skills. Vernacular solo jazz is a great way to connect with jazz music, express your style and creativity, and you see – it is good fitness!
