Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article offers a set of tools for including improvisation in the jazz dance classroom, for a variety of populations, as a means of encouraging personal and communal development. Improvising through a jazz lens that prioritizes groove, social interaction, and historical rootedness offers students embodied opportunities to find value in understanding differences and similarities simultaneously. These practices help them appreciate how to be both an individual and member of a group or groups, a relevant practice in this socially and politically polarized time.
