In September Joyce and I went to Nanjing DJ Dancing Club to learn hip-hop, When we arrived there, after the teacher's introduction we decided to learn New Jazz.

During the first practice ,Ms.Dong told us Jazz is a type of music first developed by African Americans around the first decade of the 20th century that has an identifiable history and distinct stylistic evolution. Jazz grew up alongside the blues and popular music, and all these genres overlap in many ways. Most early jazz was played in small dance bands or by solo pianists. Besides ragtime and marches, the repertoire included all kinds of popular dance music and blues. The bands typically played at picnics, weddings, parades, and funerals.There are many kind of jazz: for example, street, jazz, reggae, power jazz , morden jazz, sexy jazz, New jazz, etc. We wanted to learn New jazz. New jazz in the early days from New York by the evolution of ballet , New jazz ballet created a fusion of hip-hop Hip-Hop charm, in fact, New jazz haracterized jazz plus hip-hop,

At first we could not feel relax when we dance some basic action.Ms Dong said maybe because we didn't find feel.She said we should relax our body,then we can do it,no one will laugh at us.Then we try her idea.Right,we can do it better than before.After 10 courses,we have significant progress, also many exercise we will not feel it difficult to do.

New Jazz's features is the extension of the body. New jazz every action has a fixed angle with the pendulum method New Jazz when jumping for the hand movements when there will be an unlimited extension of the feeling, this feeling is like someone is pulling your hand.

I like it.
