Types
There are many different types of dancing, but the main ones I am going to tell you about are Ballet, Tap, and Jazz.

 

 

  
There are all different kinds of Ballet, such as, Royal Danish Ballet, Australian, National Ballet of Canada, and many others.  Ballet has always been defined by its different movements and it's creators.  The shapes and patterns of the dancers make them look graceful and beautiful.  Ballet dancers are also suppose to move as if they look like they are defy gravity as they leap through the air. 
 To become a ballet dancer you must learn the basic movements first.  Ballet is meant to tell a story, so the way the dancer moves and looks is very important.  The costumes performers wear are very important to complete the whole performance.

 Tap dancing is one of the most stylish kinds of dance and allot of fun.  Tap is also a dance that you can do without music.  It is mainly focused on your feet and ankles, your arms, hands, and head are important but they move to accentuate the movement of your feet.  

 

 
 Tap dancers are usually have a good sense of rhythm, timing, and the love of performing in front of an audience.  You don't have to be as fit for this dance as in others, but you need to move in a flowing and graceful way.

 

 

 

 

 
 There are many different styles of jazz, and is danced to lots of different kinds of music.  Most jazz is energetic and rhythmical movements.  You need to have very good coordination and must be in shape.  Jazz can also be a very expressive way of dance.  It is fun to do.  Jazz is  made up of multiple dance moves anywhere from sharp and cut, to smooth and long moves.
