The development of American Jazz dance from the 1930s to 1975 was influenced by a combination of social, economic, and historical events – this is context.

Key figures like Gene Kelly, Jerome Robbins, Bob Fosse, and others played significant roles in shaping this art form and AQA want you to be able to put this into context when writing your essays. In this resource are some of the key events and contributors that impacted American Jazz dance
during this period. Discuss these with your students. 

Assess prior knowledge and the impact or effect the time we live in has on the art we create and therefore the development of a style like American Jazz dance.

The “isms”

An exploration of classicism, romanticism, modernism and
postmodernism as context for American Jazz from 1945 – 1970.

This resource provides context in relation to the ‘isms’, meaning romanticism, classicism, modernism and post modernism. The examiners reports refer to the importance of “context where relevant” being a key factor for missing marks in
the higher bands. Your students, where relevant should be able to put the works they are studying into the context of these art movements (LAO4)
