Since the fifties, with the growing domination of other forms of entertainment music jazz dance evolved into a new, smooth, modern Broadway style that is taught today, while Tap dance continued to evolve on its own.

Jazz dance is a form of dance commonly used in Broadway shows and movies. Jazz is more contemporary kind of dance as compared to ballet, for instance. Even though jazz dancing might look easy and fun when the dancers do it, the dancers have to be in really good shape, and practice sometimes six hours a day. Some traditional musical jazz numbers are "All That Jazz" and "Chicago".

Both Jazz dance and modern dance techniques are based on the basics of the old ballet tradition, even though both forms where considered to rebellions against it. To excel in jazz dance, the dancer must master ballet techniques.
