Officiallyover 05:34, 6 March 2006 (UTC) Reply I don't have the expertise to verify or refute any of the facts put forth. I will work on the grammar where possible, but this article needs fact checking before all of the grammar editings can happen. When the article states "In jazz dancing, the movements are big and exaggerated and there is usually an attitude the dancer conveys to the audience," does it really mean big and exaggerated movements define jazz dance? In other words, all the movements of jazz dance are this way? Doesn't the statement about conveying an attitude apply to every performing art or every art in general?įinally, I simply don't understand the meaning of several passages, such as "In addition to Tap, during the jazz, a popular form of jazz dance was Swing dancing." Secondly, several passages use what is at best an informal tone: "Even though jazz dancing might look easy and fun when the dancers do it, the dancers have to be in really good shape, and practice sometimes six hours a day." Some of the quotation marks give me this overly informal impression, too. Then the article seems to redefine the term halfway through as simply "a form of dance commonly used in Broadway shows and movies." I also have a feeling that Lindy Hop and swing should fall under the older sense of the term, but the article mentions them among some other passages that don't seem to relate to these dances. Please ensure the assessment is correct before removing the |auto= parameter.įirst, the article moves back and forth between discussion of two or more senses of the term "jazz dance." The second bullet point deals with the newer sense of the term, but goes on to state "Jazz is the old word meaning TAP".
