Jazz
Jazz dance is a classification shared by a broad range of dance styles. Before the 1950s, jazz dance referred to dance styles that originated from African American vernacular dance. In the 1950s, a new genre of jazz dance — "modern jazz dance" — emerged, with roots in Caribbean traditional dance. Every individual style of jazz dance has roots traceable to one of these two distinct origins.
Jazz always has been a style that constantly evolves and we at G.M. Dance Center make sure to update ourselves regularly so we
can bring you the latest, most popular version of Jazz at the time.
Bollywood
Hindi dance songs are now widely heard around the world. They first became popular among overseas Indians and were eventually discovered by others.
The filmi music and dances in Bollywood films are a synthesis of formal and folk Indian traditional music and dance traditions, in fusion with Middle Eastern techniques. The dances in older Hindi movies represented supposed dances of the common people, although they involved original choreography. Bollywood dances have evolved as a unique and energetic style. Since they are group dances, they are often used as joyful exercise music.
Bollywood dances usually follow filmi songs.
The choreography of Bollywood dances takes inspiration from Indian folk dances, classical dances (like kathak) as well as disco and from earlier Hindi filmi dances.
Contemporary
Developed in the early 20th century as a reaction against the rigid techniques of ballet, contemporary dance uses the body's natural lines and energy, allowing a greater range and fluidity of movement than classical dance techniques. Contemporary dance is characterised by its versatility: it can be danced to almost any
style of music or united with other dance forms to create new
styles of movement.
Contemporary seeks to work with the natural alignment of the body, and is therefore safe and accessible for beginners. At the same time, the ease of movement promoted by contemporary dance technique and its improvisational style allows experienced dancers to push new boundaries of body movement.
Hip-Hop
Hip-hop refers to a vast umbrella of dance styles that developed along with the hip-hop culture including but not limited to popping, ticking, breaking and locking. In general, it refers to a highly energetic, spirited dance form with a free-style, improvisational essence.
This is a fun form to learn as a beginner because it gets you grooving and gets your body used to moving to a rhythm.
