There are several types of jazz... charelstone, lindy hop, jitter bug, swing, etc. Here's a list of some common moves from modern jazz dancing just to get you started:

leaps

chaine turns

chases

hitch kicks

kicks

pencil turns

dig turns

scissor leap

fouete

ball change

pas de chat

pas de bourree

drag

barrel roll

rond de jambe

calypso leap

attitude

arabesque

Jazz dancing has some of the same moves Ballet does but with more freedom. Some of the moves were renamed, for example a leap in jazz is called a jete in ballet.
