3. Jazz dance, a uniquely American dance form, is rooted in and
informed by African movement idioms and aesthetics that traveled to
the United States with the trafficking of African people, commonly
referred to as the Middle Passage or the transatlantic slave trade.
During the enslavement era, African dances were transformed into
African American dances with the addition of various movements
derived from whites. Post-enslavement and through-out the
twentieth century, African-American dance evolved in several
directions, one of which was jazz dance. While the term jazz dance
was not coined until the 1920s, the primary ancestry of jazz dance can
be found by studying African dance forms and how they changed in
the context of plantation life.
Where does jazz dance originate from?
Guarino, L., Oliver, W., & Amin, T. N. (2015). In Jazz dance: A
history of the roots and branches (pp. 35–44). essay, University
Press of Florida.
4. The Blending of African Cultural Groups
● Buck Dance
● Juba
● Buzzard Lope
● Turkey Trot
● Snake Hips
● Fish tail
● Fish Bone
● Camel Walk
● Cakewalk
● Ring Shout
● Water Dances
← Refer to dances that emerged
from the blending of various african
cultural groups during enslavement.
← Evidence that dance was a
communal expression that became
the basis for popular black dances
← Many of these dances had to be
performed in secret gatherings
5. Minstrel Shows 1830s
● Black sociocultural dances were
being popularized for white
audiences
● A form of entertainment that
largely caricatured black people
● Blackface was gaining popularity -
white performed would cover their
faces in black greasepaint or burnt
cork where they performed
hyperstylized, satirized versions of
black dances derived from
plantation traditions
● Common finale of minstrel shows
was the Cakewalk
6. The cakewalk began as a social dance on plantations where African slaves made fun of the
grandeur of European court dances. It was a satirical and joyful expression for an otherwise
oppressed people and was later incorporated into minstrel and vaudeville shows around New
York City. This changed the fabric of theatrical dance in America.
Nicholls, C. (2020,
October 23)
7. Vaudeville 1870s
● Touring variety shows with black
and black white-faced performers
● Included acrobats, jugglers, child
performers, and chorus girls
● Ragtime music from New Orleans,
deeply grounded in African
aesthetic principles was the
historical antecedent to jazz music
● Characteristics of Ragtime:
○ Syncopation
○ Polyrhythms
○ Percussive use of piano
8.
9. The mix of European-derived couples
dances in the early 20th century and
social dances were circulating in black
communities blended together to
create popular dances such as The
Charleston, the Black Bottom, the
Suzy-Q, and the Lindy Hop
Jazz dance is a uniquely American artform as it
blends African and European cultural influences
with the Black experience in America.

67. As we’ve seen over time, jazz dance
is social by nature. In its earliest
form as a means of communication
and community between enslaved
people, up until now as hip hop
and commercialized dance, jazz still
serves as a social art form.
68. ● Popular music and jazz dance have always gone
hand in hand
● As jazz continued to evolve throughout the years,
many different styles have emerged such as
○ Disco
○ Hip Hop
○ Commercial Jazz
○ MTV dancing
○ Just to name a few
● Keeping up with popular trends and pop music has
been vital to keeping this evolution of dance alive
○ The Hustle
○ Electric Slide
○ YMCA
○ The Frug
○ Cha Cha Slide
○ The Dougie
○ Cupid Shuffle
○ The Wobble
○ Plus many, MANY more!
69. Hip Hop
● Represents a form of
communication that emerged out
of a marginalized society in the
concrete jungle of the NYC Bronx
neighborhood
● Shaped by sociocultural and
sociopolitical circumstances in the
1970s and developed during
economical struggles and
environmental turmoil, hip hop
gave voice to restless and
tumultuous inner-city youth.
● Roots in the social fabric of African
and Afro-Caribbean concepts that
have the re-inventions in ragtime,
jazz, blues, rhythm and blues,
rock’n’roll, funk, and soul
