Jazz is a fun dance style that relies heavily on originality(独创性) and improvisation(即兴表演). Many jazz dancers mix different styles into their dancing, incorporating(v.融合 )their own expression. Jazz dancing often uses bold(大胆的), dramatic(夸张的) body movements. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.

Swing Dance 摇摆舞
Swing dance is a lively(充满活力的) dance style in which couples swing(摇摆), spin(旋转)and jump together. Swing dancing is a general term that means dancing to swing music, or music that "swings." How can you tell if a song swings? Swing dancers know when a song swings because when they hear it, they can't stand still.
摇摆舞是一种充满活力的双人舞，二人伴着摇摆的音乐，一起摇摆、旋转，跳跃。如何判断摇摆舞乐曲？很简单，如果你会摇摆舞，一听到这样的音乐，就会情不自禁摇摆起来。
