DETROIT JIT
The Jit is a dance originating from the City of Detroit. Characterized by a combustion of intricate, high energy footwork, kicks, wiggles, shuffles, and arm syncopations that can be taken to the floor in order to create an even more dynamic aesthetic. As an urban dance, the history of the Jit is closely comparable to that of the History of Breakin’, the original hip hop dance. Both are creative expressions that spawned out of the funk era and landed in the inner city streets of the United States. They both, in that sense, reflected the conditions those minority communities found themselves in at the time. While Breakin’ emerged in park jams in the Bronx, the Jit was birthed by Detroiters at night, under the streetlights, and at basement parties.
