Which is easy to learn and not very stressing out but jumpy and exciting as well!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
hip-hop:
a lot of free style, and improv!. it's hard to get into it if you have no dance experience!.

street dance:
fun!. if you like un-structured things, then this is definately for you!.

jazz:
great for beginners!. teaches structured things as well as un-structured!. a mix of hip-hop and ballet!. GREAT choice!!

modern:
much like jazz, but more style is needed!. by style i mean experience in as many different kinds of dance as possible!. it's VERY difficult for a beginner, but rewarding if you are formally trained!.

hope this helps =)

i take hip hop and i love it!. street dance is probably very similar to hip hop but it might contain more of the breaking/popping/locking/etc which are also fun!. jazz is like a cross between ballet and hip hop and modern is like a less structured version of ballet!. it's more jazz-like i guess!. i think all would be fun so really whatever's most appealing to you!.

good luck :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

You should do both jazz and hip hop if you can!. They're both great workouts and you don't have to be acrobatic; you will most likely become acrobatic!. If you really want to take modern, though, you should take at least a year of ballet because modern uses a lot of ballet moves!. Hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Have you considered ballroom!? Its a great all over workout
( see Dancing with the Stars) !. If you want something thats fun, tap is always fun!.
As a classically trained ballet student I can tell you that if you want to do Jazz or modern you really should consider that ballet forms the basis for both these dance disciplines!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would say hip hop, street dance, or jazz!. You could start with a beginner class!. Take ballet too because that is the foundation of all dances!. It will help you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Try hip hop!.!.!. it's a bit of hard work but totally worth it!. Modern takes a lot of stretching and I think it's not very jumpy!. No offense to those modern dancers- modern is still cool!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Jazz or hip hop because you dont have to be a skinny little stick figure to be amazing!!!!
