In jazz dance, costumes play a big role in the dance. The costumes are what give the dance a little more flair. The costumes that these dancers use, also help tell the story behind the dancing. Jazz dance costumes however, are in most cases, more sparkly and, [with feathers some of the time] more feathery than ballet costumes.
		Like pairs in ballet, there are pairs in jazz dances, too. To dance in pairs, in jazz, it sometimes involves wearing tappy shoes, which gives the pair dancing a little more piazza. Just like in ballet, you have to be able to work well with your partner, to have a better performance.

In Jazz Dance, there are many famous places in which the jazz dance performances are held. One of the best places is called “The Palace”. The Palace is located in New York, at the corner of 47th Street and Broadway. The Palaces first 20 years of the century were its Golden Years. The Palace first opened in March of 1913. Within five years of The Palaces opening, it was known as New York’s Finest Theater.

		Back in the day, Jazz dancers normally would start with acts that did use any words. Examples of these acts would be jugglers, acrobat or animal acts. There is a specific name for these types of acts, called “Dumb Acts”. Because these acts do not have a dialogue, the noises of late-comers could disturb the acts that are performing. These acts also made the audiences of the shows, relax and enjoy the show better.
