Danceography on Jazz, Vol. 3 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Jazz, Vol. 3 by Darryl Retter is a collection of three recital-ready jazz dances that combine performance choreography with progressive classroom training.
Progression Connection
What makes Danceography different is Progression Connection.
Each dance includes 10 across-the-floor progressions built directly from movement found in the corresponding choreography. Teachers can introduce these combinations during the technique-focused part of the dance year, giving students time to develop the movement vocabulary, musicality, coordination, and performance qualities they will later use in the recital dance.
Dances Included
Everybody - Low Intermediate Jazz | Ages 9-11
An upbeat jazz piece built around individuality and self-confidence. The message celebrates the idea that every dancer has unique strengths, talents, and qualities that make them original. The choreography gives young dancers an opportunity to perform with personality, musicality, and confidence while connecting with a positive, age-appropriate theme.
Running time: 2:46
Dance From the Heart - Intermediate Jazz | Ages 12-14
A freeing, expressive jazz piece about dancing authentically and having the confidence to be yourself. The theme encourages dancers to move without worrying about following the crowd, giving intermediate students room to explore individuality, performance quality, and expressive movement.
Running time: 2:46
Keep Your Dreams Alive - Advanced Jazz | Teens
A powerful advanced jazz piece centered on determination, ambition, and protecting your potential. The message is direct: no one else gets to decide what you are capable of achieving. The choreography gives teen dancers strong material for performing with drive, precision, confidence, and conviction.
Running time: 2:51

Why Teachers Love This Collection
Danceography on Jazz gives teachers more than three finished recital routines. The Progression Connection exercises allow dancers to work with movement concepts and technical vocabulary from each piece before applying them to the choreography.
That creates a clear progression from classroom training to recital performance, while giving teachers three distinct jazz pieces for different ages, levels, and performance styles.
