there's so many kinds of dance and they're all very differnet.

Ballet is slow, precise, very technical and graceful.  You need to be graceful, strong and flexible for ballet.

Tap is about having rhythm, because you have metal taps on the bottoms of your shoes and you move to make sounds with your feet.

Jazz is energetic, sharp and fun.

Lyrical is flowy, graceful, emotional.

Hip-hop is energetic, go-with-the-flow, and you really need to get into the "groove" of it.

Modern is very expressive, and it really just depends on the story and the chereography what else there is to describe it.

Basically dance can be anything- just move your body to some music and express yourself in any way!
