I need an opinion on what dance classes i should take...?

Question

I'm starting at a new dance school...i'm deciding if i should take ballet, hip-hop, and jazz. I'm in 8th grade. The last time i took ballet was in second grade. Some of my ideas of which classes are>>>

Level 1 - Basic Beginner Ballet technique

No previous training required

Level 1x - Beginner Ballet technique

2 Ballet classes per week recommended

Level 2 - Intermediate Beginner Ballet technique

2 Ballet classes per week strongly recommended

I have never taken hip-hop before, but im willing to take a beginner class for my age group.

Jazz is pretty hard for me to decide. I took jazz for 2 years: 3rd and 4th grade. At one point i was in a level 6 class during 4th grade. Now i need to know should i take>>>

Level 1x - Beginner Jazz technique

Ballet recommended

Level 2 - Intermediate Beginner Jazz technique

Ballet strongly recommended.

Level 2x - Advanced Beginner Jazz technique

Ballet strongly recommended.

I hope u can help me with my dilema.

Answer 1

Take Beginner Ballet first because it is a good base start so that you can stretch your body in places that you haven't worked before.  If you jump into a hard dance like hip hop, you might strain or hurt yourself.  Take baby steps, do ballet.

Answer 2

take 2 ballet classes (beginer classes),

2 jazz level 2 classes, 1 hip hop,

if can do pirrouettes, and basic jazz jumps, you can move on and if you have okay flexibility, almost able to do splits.

if the jazz only goes up to level 2x, take beginner they will let you know to move up.

Answer 3

Def take beginner ballet... its a dance that once you master or at least get the hang of it . helps u with many other dances like jazz and hip hop... Def go for ballet and hip hop.. two very different dances u will love

take beginners in both if u dont have too much exeriance in them.. u dont wanna fall behind the class

best wishes

Answer 4

i would say take level 1x ballet, because you will be more challenged in the class than in the beginner class. you will get better quicker.  Ballet also i think is the most intense form of dance, both mentally, and physically. Jazz is also demanding..... but i would sugest taking ballet and if you dont like it, switch to jazz!!

Answer 5

hip-hop

Answer 6

Hip Hop sounds fun.
