Each change of the jazz dance are stylizing by costumes and music corresponding to the presented years ...

The show is choreographed by wellknown throughout the world American choreographer Bill Goodson, who collaborated with the major figures of the contemporary pop scene, such as Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul, Diana Ross, and Gloria Estefan.

The spectacle is the culmination of  Elisabeth and Gregory Pańtak to create a team in Poland with the repertoire of truly thrilling energy of jazz. JAZZ DANCE Back and Forth is the result of these aspirations, realized in collaboration with the choreographer, who gained extensive experience not only in the styles of jazz with the stars of pop culture, but also in the best vaudeville theaters of the world, such as the Moulin Rouge.
