This educational program features well-known jazz dance instructor Rosemary Boross, who teaches the essentials of jazz dance for young students between the ages of four and six. The young ones are exposed to the lives and works of four different jazz artists and styles. The children then work with Boross on dance routines which interpret the music of the composers in the free-spirited jazz tradition. The joyful percussion music and the infectious enthusiasm of the kids provide inspiration for young viewers to give jazz dance a try themselves, and develop an appreciation for this unique American music idiom.
