Is there such a thing??

Question

as rock ballet? im told theres classical, which is what i do, and rock, which is more freestyle--like refined hiphop--kinda like the last dance in "save the last dance"? does anyone know??

k

Answer 1

I don't know about 'Rock Ballet' but there is something that i do called 'Modern Ballet' which is more of a freestyle and not as technical as classical ballet. Personally, i think it is alot more fun and easier to learn. You might also be interested in jazz or lyrical dancing. Good luck!! & have fun with it!

((Last year @ recital we danced to Black Betty by Spiderbait!!))

Answer 2

I have never herd of rock ballet I think ballet should only be classical=^..^=

Answer 3

i've never heard of that..the ones that i know of are

*classical

*Neoclassical ballet- is a ballet style that uses traditional ballet vocabulary, but is less rigid than the classical ballet. For example, dancers often dance at more extreme tempos and perform more technical feats. Spacing in neoclassical ballet is usually more modern or complex than in classical ballet. Although organization in neoclassical ballet is more varied, the focus on structure is a defining characteristic of neoclassical ballet.

*Contemporary ballet- is a form of dance influenced by both classical ballet and modern dance. It takes its technique and use of pointe work from classical ballet, although it permits a greater range of movement that may not adhere to the strict body lines set forth by schools of ballet technique. Many of its concepts come from the ideas and innovations of 20th century modern dance, including floor work and turn-in of the legs.

but ballet can be danced to any kind of music like rock  and it doesnt have to be as strict as classical

Answer 5

I don't think so but that doesn't mean that you can't dance ballet to rock music. I do that sometimes and I wish more people would do it too.
