• Very Good For Both Students And Teachers 09 February, 2008
It's easy to read and the structure is logical. Both picture and text describes the movement and how it should be executed. It's good for both the student and the teacher, and contains beside the descriptions of movements the basic of jazzhistory, music theory, stretch and a lot more. It's a good book.

• What A Great Book 27 December, 2007
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.

• Such A Great Book 14 September, 2008
This is one of the best books on dance written. It clearly explains everything. It has sections on injuries, warm-ups, history, etc. It also has sheets in the back where you can track flexability, eating habits etc. I recommend it to every high school and college dance student.
