Ballet

Jazz

There are a few different ways to dance jazz. You can dance very sharp. You can also dance more like "fosse." The style of jazz depends on the music. Jazz is a type of dance that is very well known around the world today. 

Modern is my favorite kind of dance. It is not very technical. You can dance modern to any type of music. Modern can show the emotions that the dancer is expressing. The gestures in modern are emotionally evocative.

Pointe

Pointe is the more advanced version of ballet. It is danced to classical music, like ballet is. Good pointe looks effortless, but it is really the result of a lot of hard work. You should not attempt to dance on pointe until your feet and legs are sufficiently strong. Pointe is used in all ballets and is usually danced with a male partner.

Hip Hop

Hip hop is the most outgoing type of dance, in my opinion. A lot of people like to dance "street-style" when it comes to hip hop. That means that there is no correct choreography. Hip hop is normally danced to upbeat and fast music. It is all about having fun and showing off your skills.

Tap

To be a good tap dancer you will need to move quickly and rhythmically. When you are tapping you don't just use your feet, you use your whole body. It is very important that you dance on the balls of your feet. If you dance on a flat foot, the sound won't be as clear or crisp. Tap dancing can either sound sharp, or it can sound not together and messy.
