| When
you attend Jazz games, you can always expect to see dynamic dunks and
furious fast breaks, but there is always one other constant that remains
in tact, the Nu Skin Jazz Dancers. Since the start of the 1992-93 season,
the Nu Skin Jazz Dancers, have been featured at every home game performing
energetic routines of jazz, lyrical, funk and character-type dance.
The Jazz Dancers are made up of 18 members from all over
the state of Utah, Idaho and Texas with a wealth of dancing experience
and a wide-variety of career goals and interests. Nu Skin Jazz Dancers
practice three times a week, with each rehearsal lasting three hours under
the direction of choreographer Jan Whittaker. They also practice for one
hour prior to each home game.
However, dancing is only one phase of being part of the
Nu Skin Jazz Dancers, as community and charity appearances are also part
of the agenda. Each December, the Nu Skin Jazz Dancers accompany the Utah
Jazz on their yearly visit to Primary Children's Medical Center in Salt
Lake City. The Nu Skin Jazz Dancers also take part in school assemblies
and various fundraising events along the Wasatch Front.
The Nu Skin
Jazz Dancers are available year-round for appearances. For information
