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.
