Donate to Jazz Is... Dance Project's first ever crowdfunding campaign supporting The Woodshed, a professional development retreat for seasoned jazz dance choreographers and educators.

The Woodshed provides connections and resources for jazz dance artists often working in isolation. We need community to sustain and grow.

Founded in 2012 by Melanie George, Jazz Is... Dance Project contributes scholarship, pedagogy, choreography, and advocacy to the dance field. Inspired by the democratic nature of jazz music, a uniquely Black American art form, Jazz Is… Dance Project values improvisation, stylization, and humanity in jazz dance.
