Jazz is a North American tradition that developed from a mixture of European, and American dance. 

Today it is mostly used in musicals. 

Jazz is lively, fun, and full of rhythm, and color. 

Most dance schools teach jazz classes.

 

What to wear:

 

For class you usually wear a leotard and either black, or regular tights. You may also wear junk clothes during the whole class.

 

Jazz classes are more free, and not as strict as ballet classes are. The jazz instructor would not mind junk clothes.
