But a box has 4 corners not 3 points. 1:09

[@kari-karislinedancing6146]

Yes, it's name is really confusing! Some do call it a Jazz Triangle instead because that really is the shape we're making with our first three steps on the move. As for that fourth step that's needed, i tell my students to think of that step as closing up the triangle. Maybe whoever created the term 'jazz box' thought of the four steps needed for the move as the 'box' part then threw the word 'jazz' in there to show that it wasn't the standard shape of a box but was instead a unique design i.e. similar to jazz music being so unique in form when compared to other genres of music. As there is a 'rumba box' in dance too, which really IS in the shape of a box, maybe they were sort of making a play off of that as well e.g. they were thinking 'since we already have one type of dance box term that really IS in the shape of a box, maybe for this new move we'll call it a jazz box to show that it's a weirdly shaped box instead. Who knows? ¯\_(ツ)_/ Either way, both types are fun to do and keep us thinking! Happy dancing! ❤️ 💃🏽🕺🏻💃🏽 👏🏽 😁
