Why Street Jazz
As the name itself suggests, street jazz (which is also called jazz funk), is a high energy fusion of jazz dance and elements of street dance (like hip hop, waacking...)
Much like Hip Hop, Street Jazz has been often fast-paced pointed gestures and quick movements, but also requires a dancer develop strong posture—same as in traditional jazz dance. This genre of dance works on dancer's creativity, their understanding of the music and their energy and usually involves popular funk or R&B music. The emphasis is more on individuality, intricate movement patterns, and less on perfect technique or flexibility.
Some of its best known performers include Janet Jackson, Disney child stars, Jolin Tsai and South Korean idol groups, such as Black Pink. The commonly known K-pop is but one of the many music genres in street jazz.
