The goal of the certification program is to preserve the jazz dance styles and techniques of the ones who actually created it and to keep Jazz dance technique true to it's form. Historically Jack Cole is the father of modern jazz dance as we know it today. Luigi, was the innovator that created a jazz dance technique and was the first to have it codified and taught worldwide. Matt Mattox, another of the founding fathers of jazz dancing created his technique following Jack Cole and Luigi.
