Where is the Jazz?

Research a dance/music video via YouTube or similar. Choose a video that represents some aspect of 'jazz roots & branches'. There are LOTS of options as you could look at a theatrical musical scene (ie, 'Chicago'), a movie musical scene (ie. Victor/Victoria), a music video, a SuperBowl performance, a dance FlashMob, competition dance, etc. This can be from nearly any time period, post 1950s (as we've already done quite a bit of work on 1920s-1940s). Submit the url like for that video; and answer the question Where is the Jazz? Also, Is there anything missing that 'should' be present? Consider the aesthetic / movement qualities we have discussed in class (list is copied below). Consider the frame of performance? Consider how the bodies are performing the movement? Consider the purpose of this performance? .... Around 200 words should do it.
