When you start dance?

Question

okay so i've had no professional training in any dance besides hip hop but i want to now do things like contemporary/modern or jazz whats the best thing to start with ballet, contemporary or modern... i know contemporary is freestyle stuff so im thinking its not a good starter..... again so this is for someone who hasn't done any flexibility dances or turns or stuff like that

Answer 1

Id do ballet because you use a lot of it in all the other types of dance and its very useful when you want to expand since you've already done hip hop and know how to freestyle then ballet is good for training.

Answer 2

i would start with ballet because it gives you technique. if you master ballet or even just hae an idea of it then you will do better in your other dance classes.

Answer 3

I would start with balet. Its a great starter where you learn a lot of the necessities for other types of dance and its easier to build off and take other types when you have balet in your background.

Answer 4

ballet is the core of all or most dances and you need ballet to make you look more polished so I say 110% ballet

Answer 5

the first classes i took were modern/contemporary and jazz. now i almost like modern more than jazz. if you wanna be really good, take ballet. and for fun, take jazz or modern. but modern you have to be really strong and flexible. you also have to be able to control your entire body, so if you arent flexible, modern isnt a good place to start=] but it is very fun. ballet will be kinda boring at first until you really learn it. but jazz is most fun for beginers though=]♥

Answer 6

defiantly ballet, It really  strengthens your body and makes other types of dance easier to do
