Hello! I am glad you put me in your contacts!
Tap- Very Hard at time but easy too!. What you need to know is to roll your ankles and make sure you are comfortable with moving your ankles!. You also can learn to do this by doing warm-ups before classes (ex: tapping the ball of your foot to the floor 8 times on each side, doing draw backs, pull back and more)
Ballet- Very Graceful!. It takes alot of technique, we always do warm ups (ex: demi, grand, tondou, pointe) Number 1 rule!.!.!.!. POINT TOES!
Jazz- Use alot of confidence and happy faces!. Expressions help the audience know what is going on!. If you are cheographing a jazz dance it might help to think of one subject (ex: my recitle was baseball) and so work your dance moves into baseball
Hope I helped!.!. You will make a GREAT dance teacher!Www@QuestionHome@Com

tap: you wear tap shoes obviously and it requires a lot of strict training and fast legwork but once you get the hang of it it can be very fun and exciting!. i recommend strong ankles and toes!.
jazz: a modified version of ballet!. it doesnt require trunout and it is usually very smooth and danced to upbeat music!. the arms are also used more than they are in tap
ballet: requires the most training of all types of dance!. you MUST have strong toes, ankles, and legs and surprisingly arms bc they must be able to hold one position for a long time!. you must also have a great sense of balance and grace and posture!. you must also have turnout which comes from the hips and thighs, not the feet which also surprises some people!. in ballet you must also know the terms!. i have included a link to the ABT ballet dictionary!. good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
