Solo Jazz 爵士独舞
——真正跟着爵士乐一起跳的“街舞”

猫角工作室所教授的爵士舞蹈是偏向于Jazz Roots爵士根源舞的,很大程度上区别于现在常见的New Jazz等韩舞或街舞。
所谓的“Jazz Roots”或许可以翻译为爵士根源舞?它描述的是美国(主要是美国黑人)早期在街头跟着爵士乐跳的舞。“Jazz Roots 爵士根源”相对应的名词是“Modern Jazz 现代爵士舞”。1950年代之后,爵士乐出现巨大改变,这之后的爵士舞也在持续地变化。所以我们摇摆舞者说的爵士舞和现代很多人印象中的爵士舞是有很大差别的。
我们教授的Solo Jazz与Lindy Hop使用同样的音乐、有着同样的状态,但将更专注于节奏和自我表达。
Solo Jazz is a general term that can refer to anything from the pre-Cake Walk dances to post war era material linked with be-bop as well as rhythm ‘n’ blues music. In modern terminology it refers to dancing without any partner rather than dancing with a partner, and it comes without any influences of ballet or any other modern contemporary techniques. Solo Jazz can be danced free and improvised or in routines such as Shim Sham Shimmy, Big Apple or Tranky Doo.
爵士独舞是个比较广泛的概念,一般通指从早期“蛋糕步态舞蹈”一直到二战后的“比波普”和“节奏布鲁斯”舞蹈。现代对于Solo Jazz的解释普遍是强调相比双人舞蹈的独舞性,并且是不参杂芭蕾风格,和现代舞技巧的传统舞蹈形式。Solo Jazz可以是完全自由即兴的,也可以是指经典的成品编舞,如:Shim Sham Shimmy, Big Apple or Tranky Doo.
