Question:

I was thinking about taking a dance class...?

I'm 14, and have never done any knid of dancing before. What type of dance would be good for me? I was thinking about ballet or jazz.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You NEED to take ballet. Take jazz for fun, but trust me if you want to continue dancing, you definitely need ballet because it teaches you the technique that you need in any kind of dance. its pretty much the basis/foundation. I quit ballet in elementary school because I thought it was too rigid and boring; now that I'm in high school, I didn't make the varsity dance team because my teacher told me that my technique was not strong enough even though my dancing was. Now I'm starting a beginning ballet class, and hopefully next year I'll make the team. :) I strongly vote for Irish dancing! But most dance studios recommend you take ballet, jazz, and tap at the same time. well thats good. Dancing types? I would say, try some out first and go to the dance you like the most. Some studios let you try it free the first time. It worked for me. For beginer? Street jazz is a good beginger thing as well, they usually recomend that. Always start with ballet because ballet is the basis for everytype of dance. If you can do ballet, you can do almost every type of dance. I strongly recommend you taking ballet. You can also take a beginning jazz class. And if you are put with kids younger than you, that's okay. Good luck with your dance. Great!, Ballet is great for 1st time dancers and it helps everything you will do in dance. TAKE BALLET FOR SURE!!! Jazz is also but if you can only take 1 class balles is the best I have been dancing since I was 4 and just started ballet when I was eleven. I strongly suggest you take jazz, because ballet would be hard for you to learn if you have never taken dance before.
