Refine Your Skills in Commercial Jazz Dance
A widely recognised, highly choreographed art form, commercial jazz dance features a mixture of sharp and fluid movements. It also includes popping and locking, and animated expression similar to dances seen on commercial video clips. This stylised fusion of street funk, hip hop, and pop is similar to styles seen in music videos starring:
Beyoncé – Lady Gaga – Michael Jackson – Britney Spears – Janet Jackson
Practicing Artistic, Contemporary Dance
An expressive dance form with a free, artistic, expressive feel, contemporary draws on techniques from classical ballet. However, unlike ballet, contemporary focuses on floor work and dancers will usually perform in bare feet. Contemporary dance involves the use of expression and emotion to portray images, lyrics, and feelings. Its principles include:
Centring – Alignment – Gravity – Contraction – Release – Suspension
