FAQ About Influence of Jazz on Global Dance Styles

How does jazz influence ballroom dance?
Jazz has influenced ballroom dance by introducing elements of improvisation and modern rhythms. While traditional ballroom dance is structured, incorporating jazz allows dancers to inject a sense of spontaneity and energy into the performance. This influence is seen in styles such as the Foxtrot and Quickstep, which may include jazz-inspired syncopations and playful rhythmic interpretations.
