Best Answer

1920

Jazz dancing is a genre of performed/theatrical dance that by definition is popular social dancing adapted for the stage. It was named jazz dancing due to the fact that Jazz Music was the popular music of the age (1920s). It would now officially incorporate any dance that started as a social dance/party dance that has made it to performing status. Disco, hip hop, 50s, go-go, swing, etc
