Jazz dance is one of the most popular styles of dance among amateurs. It is very stylistic and requires lots of personality and flare.  There is usually an attitude or emotion being conveyed through the dance and the movements are both big and exaggerated. There are many styles of jazz including but not limited to jazz funk, broadway jazz, and lyrical jazz.
