As a dancer of 13 years I have to say ballet is the core of all dance. If you learn the technique of ballet it will help you in all areas of dance, whether it be hip hop, jazz, tap, or drill team, ballet is at the roots. So I suggest taking ballet & jazz. Because jazz can be helpful in many other feilds of dance as well. If you just have a lot of time I would add tap onto that list, as it is used in many shows, too.

Hope I helped!

Jazz and Hiphop are the basics!
So go with them to start off.

Good Luck!

I think Jazz is like hard and HipHop is too jumpy if you are a drama girl and performer i would go with Jazz or Ballet for you.Or u can go witth Latin or Ballroom.I really like ballroom try it!

Jazz would be best for you, followed by ballet. I really wish I had stuck with ballet classes when I was younger - it would have helped me out so much as a performer.

Other than those basics, a ballroom or tap class would be great. What's offered at your school, and how many do you plan to take?

I recommend Jazz. I've also seen some theatre style movement class that basically teach you movement techniques for musicals.

It depends on what shows you want to do. FOr example I would definatley suggest to start taking ballet for technique and definatley take jazz, because a lot of shows have it in them, like A Chorus Line, Phantom of the Opera, The Drowsy Chaperone... Also, take some tap because somes shows have that in them too like 42nd Street, A Chorus Line,... And, if you want to do shows like Legally Blonde, take some hip hop classes. I hope this helped!

I would recommend ballet/lyrical because the dances are mostly slower, and ballet is the main dance category since most of its move you also use in all other dance types.

I personally always have thought that ballet and jazz as the easiet type to learn, though ballet is easier.
