This is a Video Montage of the history of All That Jazz Dance Studio from 1989 -2009. Having moved four times after out-growing facility after facility, All That Jazz has seen thousands of young dancers come through their doors to be inspired and led on an artistic journey we call Dance . A few of of those perform here, on video, for you now.
