These qualities, when inscribed upon the dancer's body create an empowering and grounding effect, dissimilar to the effect created by other existing dance idioms. In authoring his own movement aesthetic, Giordano helps to establish jazz dance as a genre, unique and separate and clearly not derivative of any other dance form. A kinesthetic "reading" of his movement style will reveal how Giordano's fashioning of diverse cultural components has had an empowering effect upon the female dancer. By transcending traditional oppressive forms of inscription and giving her a clear and powerful voice, Giordano's style of jazz dance achieves equality in difference.
