Where did Jazz (dance) come from?
Jazz (dancing) is believed to have come from St. Louis, New Orleans, Memphis and Kansas City, all located in the United States, but it has more to it than just that. Jazz dancing evolved just after the end of World War I, it all started with the African American Vernacular dance. When African slaves were sent to New Orleans and other places in the United States they danced the African American Vernacular dance and jazz dance evolved from that. Every Jazz dance can be traced all the way back to the African American Vernacular dance.
