Jazz in seen most in the angles, hands and feet. Contemporary is smoother, more like ballet but with less pointy feet.

Ah! I was going to say it seemed like contemporary was maybe more fluid.

If pressed, I could probably identify traditional ballet (by the shoes!), tap, and swing. And ... that's maybe it.

It just occured to me that some of the style creep is probably because of the diversity of dancers and styles on the show -- choreographers might throw stuff in that the dancer can do well, even if it isn't strictly key to the given style, even beyond obvious tricks and etc., huh?
