Is 13 years old suitable for learning jazz Is it too early?

Introduction] The word jazz was originally dance**, and the term "jazz" was only used after 1900, and before that it seemed to be called "jass", with the birth of jazz in 1880, the word jazz dance was born; And because jazz music has always been quite lively in performance, there will be an explanation of the meaning of noise, mania and liveliness. The essence of jazz dance movements is a free and simple expression, directly expressing the inner feelings through the body's toss, shaking and twisting. Just like when we hear what we like, we can naturally reveal our feelings from our hearts, and our bodies involuntarily move along with the rhythm, such as flicking our fingers, shaking our heads, sometimes excited, and sometimes slowly and softly dissolving into it.

Jazz dance is a rapid and dynamic rhythmic dance, which is a kind of outward dance, unlike the restrained dance expressed in classical ballet or modern dance. Jazz dance is mainly a performance of movement and melody, the main purpose is to entertain others as well as yourself, and it can bring yourself and others a good time, which is why its performance is not pretentious at all, and the joyful atmosphere and happy spirit exuded when dancing are very infectious. Although it is necessary to have very good skills to become a successful jazz dancer, almost everyone can master the basic dance steps, and jazz dance has a wide range of performances, and the most eye-catching thing about dancing is the individual color and unique style.

Jazz dance is mainly a dance that pursues pleasure, liveliness and vitality. It is characterized by the freedom to dance, which does not have to be limited to a form and obedience to the inherent posture like traditional classical ballet, but unlike the dance of disco, which is completely self-enjoying, it still has a present rhythm in the freedom. For example, it will cooperate with jazz** to express feelings, and also use or imitate other dance techniques; For example, in terms of footwork and movements, the movement position and principles of ballet, the agility of tap dance techniques, the contraction and relaxation of the body of modern dance, the dance steps and hip swing of Latin dance, and the movement position of the upper body of oriental dance, etc.

Personal opinion: 13 years old is still the development stage, so it is not recommended to learn, because it is easy to strain, which will affect future development.

But on the other hand, if there is a good dancer who hasn't studied hard since childhood, you can see just by looking at the ballet dancers.

Learn or not, choose for yourself.
