Instructions
Do the Jazz Walk
1. Bend your knees, but keep your back straight. In other words, put your body in plie. Keep your arms at your side for now, but let them hang loose.
2. Walk around while keeping the same posture. Keep walking until you can do so while staying in plie and not looking too stiff.Jazz is deeper than a hymn style. It besides incorporates dance, dress and cultural aspects. Dances akin the jazz ramble are immediately recognizable as symbols of jazz. It is a low gravity type of movement, bare smooth and floaty.
Choose some basic jazz and nothing too fast. Usually older jazz from 1930s or 1940s will work best for learning dance moves. Begin to get a feel for the rhythm.
4. Try the walk again, but this time do it to the rhythm of the song. Do not force each step to match a beat. Feel the general tempo of the song and move to that, keeping the movement smooth, natural and adding a little bit of bounce to your step.
5. Let your shoulders move with you as you walk. Rotate your shoulders up, down, forward and back. Do not force the movements, but do what feels natural to the walk.
6. Bend your arms as you walk so that one arm is curved forward and the other arm is curved backwards. One arm should be in front of you with your palm facing down and the other arm should be behind you with the back of your hand facing down.
7. Swing your arms while you walk. Each time you swing, alternate which way your arm curves. Your arms should always be curved in the opposite direction.
8. Keep the whole movement smooth and floaty. This is a low gravity walk, which means it is meant to look as if the walker is at a lower gravity than everyone else.
9. Add some flare to your walk. Some people tilt their heads back and smile. Some people like their back feet to drag on the floor with each step.
