7 Recld this information from a website about jazz dance and then answer the questions.

Jazz dance has become one of the most popular dance styles in recent years, mainly
due to its popularity on television shows, in ~ov!~ .,, music videos. and commercials.
People enjoy watching jazz dancers as the dancing 1s fun dnd energetic.

Jazz dancing is a form of dance that showcases a dancer's indi~idual_ style and
originality. Every jazz dancer interprets and executes moves and steps 1n their o~vn way.
Jazz dancing is energetic and fun, cc"cisting of unique moves, fancy footwo~, big leaps
and quick turns. To excel in jazz dance, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as
this encourages grace and balance.
Jazz dance classes are casual and relaxed, which is reflected in the clothing worn. A
d~ncer's body lines need to be visible however, so baggy clothes are generally
discouraged. Tights and leotards are fine but most jazz dancars preier to 'NE:ar jazz or
dance pants. Jazz pants are usually boot-cut or flared stylns, as tight bottoms would
restrict ankle movements. Tops usually worn for jazz dane-<l include form ftiting tank-tops,
T-shirts and leotards. Requirements for jazz shoes vary, <.J9pending en the class you
attend.
A good jazz dance class explodes with energy. Witi1 mi.!s:c styles ranging from hip-hop to
show tunes, the beat alone will get you moving. Mosi: jazz d,mce teachers begin with a
~horo~gh wami-up. They then lead the class in a series of stretching exercises and
isolation movements. Isolations involve movi119 one part of the body while the rest of the
bod~ remains still. Jazz dancers also ~ri)ctise t~,e art of suspension. Suspension involves
:ovrng thr?ugh positions instead 01' stopping and balancing in them. Most jazz dance
achers will end the class with a short cool down to help prevent muscle soreness.

{a) Make a list of the foature., of a good jazz dancer.

Read this extract from 'The Runaway Summer' ty Nina Bawden.


:--------------- --··.
They got off the bus on a busy main roac'. Cars rushed past them, and hu~e _lorries_. spraying
sand and ballast. There was a high ston~ wall en the right_, grim .and forbidding, with broken
glass on the top. Simon led them along a little way to a rusty, iron gate.

Tl1e gate was padlocked dnd chained, but uselessly: it~ hinges w_crc broken. Sim~n g~ve one
expert heave and the gate fell back, leaving a space brg enough ror tliem to sque..;ze ihrough. S
Then he closed it behind them. lI
Once inside, the noisy road might not have existed. A few yards from the gate nd lhey ~ere in a
different world: a hushed, green jungle. Trees, crowded together ~nd grown ta:! .~ s~ind~t• m~t
overhead and shut out the sky. The ground was a tangle of spiky brambles 1nat to;e "'' their
clothes. 10

This way; Simon said a~d set off confidently, though there seemed i'O obvio;.1s path. Krishna
an~ ~ary stumbled after him, Krishna carrying the cat bas1'et, and Maryhthe_ two bags of food.
lnv1srble cobwebs brushed their faces. Simon was going tco fast for them ....ut chey had no breath
to complain.

After what seemed ages, he stopped in a small clearing ::hafied with smoky sunlight and whirring 15
with crickets.

There aren't any more brambles,' Simon said. 'That's tht" worst bit. Give me one of those bags
Mary, you'll need a free hand.'

I When he led the way out of the clearing, she saw what he meant. There was a path now, though
very narrow and overgrown. It W(:nt do~-m. alor:g the side of a steep hill; the earth was damp and 20
squidgy underfoot, and nettles, tJII as they were, whipped at their faces. It was so quiet they
could hear themselves bre?.t,1ing.

'Watch out, there's a b!t of tree fallen,' Simon said. 'Look, that's where it came from.'

They looked up ?.!1d r:aw the tme high above them, a white scar down the side where the great
branch had tor:1 away, \.'!hich w:is :;;limy with moss and dangerous. Simon crossed first, and then 25
turned to take th~ ~t bask~t. fer safety's sake. There was no sound from inside.

·r suppose he's all right,' Mary said. 'Ought we to look?'


'He's just sleeping soundly,' Simon said. 'We'll let him out when we get to the island.'

'What island?' Mary said, and, as if in answer, the trees on the right thinned out and they could
see water beyond, covered in a bright green weed, like a curiy mat. 30

'It's an artificial lake,' Simon explained. 'There used to be a big house on the other side but it
burned down ages ago, and the people went away and never came back.. .'

The path came down to the lake and it was easier walking now. They turned a bend and saw the
!sland, _so thick with trees and huge, sprawling rhododendrons that it looked as if it would be
rmposstble tc land there. There was no weed on this part of the lake; a humped wooden bridge 35
spanned a stretch of brown, g!inting water. '

'The bridge is tricky,' said Simon, 'I'll take t~ For Private Circulation on!y
