Jazz dance, also known as jazz ballet, is a broad spectrum of dance in which the basic techniques of classical ballet are combined with pop music and show elements. The movements and the music are 'jazzy', meaning much less strict. Jazz dance has been developing and extending itself for years, one can always try to add dance moves to the existing selection in order to create even more unique dances. It is a style with different varieties and is focused on the free movement of the body.

The accurate origin of the emergence of jazz dance is a great mystery for many. It is estimated that it started around the 60s/70s as a separation from classical ballet on modern music movements.
