Jazz box or jazz square is a dance move whose name comes from its basic footwork: its four steps form a square pattern. It may be seen in numerous dances of various styles, including line dance, novelty dances, jazz dance, disco, and hip hop.
Basic footwork
- Step left foot across the right foot
- Step right foot back behind the left foot
- Step left foot sideways parallel to the right foot
- Step right foot forward in front of the left foot
- Repeat all
In particular choreographies, the pattern may start from any step of the sequence and may also be mirrored, i.e., started from the right foot. Styling may vary.
