Advanced Jazz Dancing Instruction

Since then broadway choreographers have taken it to new places. In the 50's when jazz was the main style of both dance and music tap dance was the style of dance most popular. As the era progressed new dances began to take form such as the Cakewalk, Charleston and Lindy Hop. Tap dance became more of it's own style in itself as modern jazz dancing began to evolve.
