As well as those studying dance This book is ideal for anyone who is considering dance classes and for those already attending them. It has lots of infomation on all areas of dance including clear drawings of positions and sequences. It describes most steps and includes a warm up routine and suggestions for dance seesions. It has infomation on proper allignment , diet, injury prevention, advice on first aid and dance etiquitte. I find this book very useful and use it to guide free dance seesions with young teenagers as well as nurture my own interest in dance.

Get up and DANCE!
4 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback
I really do think it would be possible for a moderately to not at all agile reader to use this book to teach him/herself jazz dance. It covers all the basic moves, with very detailed diagrams and instructions. If you don't have the means or the access to take a jazz class, this is the book for you! It'll get you off the couch, show you how to express yourself through dance, and you'll be doing it correctly, without hurting yourself.
For someone who is hesitating before taking a dance class for fear of looking foolish, get this book and be bold! If you're going to go down--go down in flames! (And it won't kill you. Really!) Dancing is one of the purest joys in life, and this book makes it accessible to everyone.

What a great book
27 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
I teach jazz dance in a college setting and recommend this book for my students. Jump into Jazz breaks the art of Jazz dance down beautifully. I have found this book to be extremely helpful and concise. The illustrations are easy to understand, and the worksheets at the back of the book are a wonderful way for my students to test their understanding of the ideas presented.

Good information, bad pictures

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The information in this book is good and helpful, but the cartoon pictures are terrible. It would have been much better with real photographs.
