Jazz is defined in the dictionary as a musical term. Characterized by strong yet flexible rhythms. Fresh and sometimes wild is a good description. Both jazz and tap are very familiar dance modes. The music is lively, exciting and done at a faster tempo.

Jazz has its own rules, just like ballet, and requires you to have a very free and flexible body, together with the ability to isolate all its separate parts. It can be clean and cool, abstract and slightly remote or very energetic.
