Question: What should I begin with; jazz or ballet!?
i really want to start dancing contemporary, but i want to start out with jazz, because i've heard it's a bit easier!. but now i've heard that i should start with ballet instead, to learn the basics and stuff!. i've never danced these kinds of dance before, only hip hop and freestyle, so i was wondering if anybody had any advice!? please answer soon!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
ballet definitely
you can't really do jazz without ballet
if you start out with jazz you'll end up developing bad habits that are hard to break
but why not start with both of them at the same time!?
that way you have a good level ground and you can do great at both!.
but if you can only start with one than definitely ballet because all dancers have to take ballet for technique, or else it's pointless, and even when you start jazz you should continue with ballet
good luck! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow you've done hiphop and freesyle! contemporary should be no problem for you i guess!. Personally I find contemporary the hardest and it is an extension of ballet plus a lot of physical strength and floor work n flexibility!. so if you're technically pro in ballet, you can switch to do contemp with ease!. Jazz and ballet sort of compliment each other, so I guess if your schedule fits, you should try both classes together! But make sure you practice!. Jazz and ballet are my favourite genres of dances!. Good luck and Have fun! :) Www@QuestionHome@Com

oh easy girl!!!! go for ballet!!!its the hardest discipline but from there you have the ability to master contempory!. jazz is more something you do after ballet if you want to move your focus from precision to fun, with the technique you have learned from ballet!.
enjoy its also a fabulous workoutWww@QuestionHome@Com

Oh you should definitely start ballet!. It will help you with technique and discipline!. I started with ballet and then took jazz and its way easier!. I enjoy both!. And yes it will have the basics and what you need to know for general dance!. It will also get your posture and positions correct!.

good luck

okay, i suggest you start out with jazz!.!.!.because it's more free formed and it can make you a better dancer in all!. but, with ballet you can learn to be more balanced and more formal with your dancing!. well, i think you should go with jazz!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would start with ballet because ballet is the base of all dance!. to even get really good at jazz, ballet is very important!. you can relate anything to ballet, it gives you technique!.

good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
