History of Decidedly Jazz Danceworks
Celebrating its 23rd anniversary in 2007, Decidedly Jazz Danceworks (DJD) is one of the few dance companies dedicated to preserving the roots of jazz dance through public performance by its professional company and through educational outreach in the community.  As part of its educational mandate, DJD presents its summer jazz intensive for intermediate to advanced students, professional dancers and dance educators.

What is Jazz Immersion 2008?
DJD is dedicated to preserving the rich history of jazz dance while taking the form forward into the future. Jazz Immersion 2007 will provide participants a seven day opportunity to immerse themselves in the unique style that DJD has worked diligently to create. Participants will have to opportunity to take classes in Jazz, West African, Improvisation, DJD Repertoire, Swing, Latin Jazz, Funk Fusions and more from DJD’s cofounders, as well as past and present company members. Jazz Immersion 2007 is 5 full days of jazz dance that is steeped in history while keeping a keen eye on the future.

Taught by our founders, past Company performers and current senior DJD artists, Jazz Immersion is a stimulating week of everything jazz. Participants come to our studios in Calgary, Alberta from across Canada and the United States to feed their rhythmic, expressive and playful souls, dancing to nothing but jazz music and live drumming. Serious study has never been so much fun.
