The way that you dance to jazz music, is that you dance to the beat. Usually with a partner; referablly slow and spicy!
Modern jazz was the last style to develop.
Music feeds dance. It tells our bodies what to do. The lyrics or mood of the song can tell us what emotion to portray or feel. The beat surges rhythm through our bodies. And vice versa, the dancer tells the story the music is missing and gives life and movement to each rhythm. It's a beautiful relationship and one could not easily go without the other.

Jazz dance was also inspired by African dance, which brought about specific characteristics of jazz: low to the ground, bent knees, body isolations and pulsating movements.
