To quote NathAttack: "Hopefully this maintains its ABSURDLY high TA-Ratio forever ;D
Even though I know it won't, not actually difficult at all. Still, man can dream, right?"

Well, he's right! Each Jazz Square is basically the same move. The clue is in the name, you make a square with your feet...I have no idea why it is called "Jazz", I don't imagine doing that move to Jamie Cullum.

Enough digression! Each jazz square has the same basic steps. From your starting position, cross your right foot over your left, then bring your left foot behind your right foot, then bring your right foot in line with your left, then left foot back in its starting place. If your having trouble, practice away from the game. On each step the arms are doing something different, but that depends on which of the moves you are doing.

In "Hey Mami"
Jazz Square slow is basically the Jazz Square at half speed and comes right at the start of the song (on Hard at least). Arms are slightly up and bent, the arm needs to be pushed out slightly on every beat.
"Hella Good"
The Jazz Square here is the fifth move in (on Hard), exact same thing with feet. But your arms are curling (like a bicep curl) on every beat.
"Push It"
The Jazz Square is after # Working up a sweat! # . Exact same as Hella Good's but goes in the other direction. That's left leg over right first. For Jazz Square and I do only the first two steps before jumping into the 'I'.
"Brickhouse"
The Jazz Square is near the beginning of the song on easy. A normal jazz square but make "hook" arms.

This video is not the game, simply an instructional video on how to do a Jazz Square. If you still cant get it after breaking it down or through the song, practice by yourself using that video.

Warning: that instructor is telling you to do an extra step which you don't need to do in game!
SpecopKinG USMC Do you have to finish all the way threw Break it Down or can you leave after you pass the move? I've done all of them and still have yet to get anything..

deutschZuid Did you really pass "Jazz Square and I"? and no.. if you quit half-way.. it won't count. Why would you leave after you pass the move anyway, just go all the way through. It will count by the way, if you finish the break-down mode AND you get each move right at least once either during normal or slow-mo. You dont' have to pass the move (getting it right 3 times).

xs Silence sx I was struggling with these for a while, until I went into Break It Down mode and realized that I wasn't going BACK with my second step. If your first step is right foot over left, your second step should be stepping your left foot about 12 inches backwards. Although you said it in your guide, I still didn't comprehend it until I went to BID. It apparently isn't obvious by just watching the dancers in Perform It.
