Bob Boross Freestyle Jazz Dance

Bob Boross Freestyle Jazz Dance is the choreographic outlet for the jazz dance inspired choreography of Bob Boross. A project based dance company currently situated in New York City, Bob Boross Freestyle Jazz Dance utilizes classic jazz dance values that are re-imagined in a contemporary sense under the mission statement of "dance as art…dance as entertainment." Boross's work ranges from the lyrical to Broadway pizzazz, from emotive pieces that explore social injustice to hardships endured by the everyday person, and the joys of both swing based jazz music to rhythmically intricate tap dancing.
