What should i take?

Question

my mom is only letting me take one dance class. i want to take ballet but jazz seems fun too. what class should i take?

Answer 1

i would suggest ballet. if you take ballet now jazz will be easier later. jazz is often described as stylized ballet, so as long as you take ballet you should probably be able to take jazz later. but the other way around isnt so easy.

Answer 2

Jazz is way funner - in my opinion. It really depends on what type of dancer you want to be. If you're just dancing for fun, go for the jazz class. If you want to compete or if you want to make a career out of dancing, you'll have to train in ballet eventually. Ballet is necessary because it'll sharpen your technique and make you a stronger dancer all around.

Answer 3

Ballet is fun but it's so slow! I love jazz! It's so enthusiastic! If you want to learn more about jazz and other dancing classes go to http://azdesertdance.com/pages/Schedule0...

Answer 4

Ballet is a lot more technical and orderly. Jazz is basically contemporary ballet. Jazz is more about shapes and expression. Jazz is a lot more free than ballet, where you have to conform to the way it is taught and dance. There hasn't been much revolutionary ballet, but jazz is evolving all the time because it's a lot more up to date. Whereas, ballet has more of a classical, traditional approach.

Personally, i prefer jazz but it's completely up to the dancer.

Answer 5

Take ballet. If you take ballet, you will have magnifecint tecnique. So take ballet for a year, then mabye next year, your mom will let you take jazz and ballet.

Answer 6

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

I love dancing, but have never taken a dancing class.  I went to a ball room dance performance of my sister's and they had all the dance teams perform.  I loved the Jazz dancing best, and plan to take it soon in college.

Answer 11

It kinda depends...if your just looking for something to do for a hobby that you'll get some enjoyment out of, take jazz. If your looking to become a really good dancer some day, start with ballet. It give you all the technique that you will need in the future to be  really good at jazz, lyrical or any other style you want to try!

Answer 12

See if they have lyrical, as that is a mix of ballet and jazz. I could never survive with just one class a week though, I take ballet, tap, jazz, theater, lyrical, hip-hop, modern, contemporary, and pointe, and we compete almost every weekend!!

Good luck with your disicion and happy dancing

Answer 13

You should consider belly dancing...its the best!!! Do it Shakira style.

Answer 14

ballet if your skinny... jazz if your heavy.

Answer 15

Ballet.......

Ballet is the basis of all dance.....

Take ballet and then you can spread out to different genres...with a better understanding of it's foundations....
