Ballet, Jazz or Hip Hop??

Question:my mom said that i can take 2 out of the 3. I don't know which ones! I think ballet is amazing (despite what my friends think). But hip hop is really fun to watch and they all look like they are enjoying it. Jazz is cool and my friend has been taking it forever and she LOVES it. My mom is leaning towards the hip hop and the jazz because in our country (singapore(blech) we just moved from california :(() ballet is really snobby.

for ballet i want private lessons because there are no beginner classes for over 6 years :(. group for the rest

which oneS?

i'm 12 btw

i say hipp hop , so you can get the best of both worlds.
Hiphop is really fun cause you can let go, and just wild out, hit steps hard, then flow with them.
then you have the conservative ballet where you can be precise, and feel beautiful and elegant, and calm, light as a feather. jazz would be in the middle for me, so i say if you know those two, you got jazz in the bag if you ever consider switching.
so i would be like , why not pick the two extremes??

I would do ballet as it has a longer history and is more difficult to pick up without proper tuition, so take the chance while you can. The others you can pick up anytime, and in 10 years time who's going to be doing ... "er... what woz that stuff called back then... ?hep-hip or sumthin'??". Definitely do the ballet and one other. Ignore the snobby label. That's just ignorant rubbish. Best of luck.

i personally would do jazz and hiphop. ballet seems to take longer to learn and is not as fun from what i used to do. hip hop is my favorite. it gives a good work out and it's lots of fun!! jazz, i found hard to learn, depending on your age, but it was really, REALLY, fun. it keeps you moving and you get cool outfits. it's fun to watch too!!

As someone who has taken ballet for several years, I definitely reccomend it. It is really good for you and strengthens all your muscles... Training in ballet also prepares you for other types of dance because it works all your muscles and also makes you more flexible... Both hiphop and jazz are a lot of fun but maybe less rigorous in training than ballet. Good luck and have fun with whatever you choose!
PS: Dont worry about what other people think about ballet, just do whatever you want to do!! :)

Definitely take ballet. It's a foundation for most dance types. And you should take jazz too. Jazz is really fun, and sometimes Hip Hop steps are incorporated into it.

do ballet and jazz definitely! ballet makes u feel so beautiful and graceful ...who cares if the teachers are snobby? dont let it bother u...the the snobbier the teacher, the better because, they will make u work HARD and jazz...well its sooo much more fun than hiphop because...idk...well to me it is easier but, its sharper and a lot of the hiphop teachers i have seen...unless they are like REALLY PROFESSIONALs then, they arent that good...so yea definitely go with ballet and jazz....u will LOVE Them...good luck!

ballet and hip hop

well i think ur really going to enjoy ballet. i know i do! well it depends wut ur more into. hip hop is more of our modern day kinda thing. u also dont need to be that flexible with hip hop. with jazz. u really must be flexibly...obviously not wen u take ur first class but over time ull gain it. try to get ur mom to do all three, but if u cant. then id say jazz b/c ballet will help u with ur jazz. hip hop is the total opposite of ballet. well i hope this helps!

i dance ballet, and i LOVE it! Yo say that you're pretty much set on ballet, so I would chose jazz as the other.... don't know why, but that jut seems to be connectet, to me...

love laura

hip hop!!!!!!!! GREAT
jazz okay
ballet NO if u r a dude then thats not gonna get u anywhere w/ the ladies

I would do jazz and hip hop because when I did ballet and jazz the only difference was the style of the dance. If you like classy do ballet if you like fast and energetic do jazz, thats really the only difference between the two. And hip hop is just awesome.

I would do ballet and hip hop cause you can have fun and have a relaxing time too. Cause ballet is relaxing and hip hop is amazing fun. So you chose what you want to choose.

Thank You

Ballet and jazz!!!

Ballet is the foundation for dance, and it helps build flexibility and lots of movement, and if you do ballet, you'll need the flexibility for jazz. Jazz is really fun! Most of the music is upbeat so its not boring, and you get to dance in a group which is so much more fun than dancing alone!!

I would say jazz from personal preferance, also it is similar to ballet, but with a more relaxed nature. I absolutely love it!
Hip Hop is fun, too, but you should probably work on isolations and body control and flexibilty before trying this kind of dancing-it is harder than it looks!
That is more of a personal opionion I suppose, but I hope it helps!
Who cares if ballet is snobbish! Go ahead and go for it!
Pick whichever style will suit you best!

Personally ballet and jazz thats what i do and i love it the jazz is also good for strength of ballet
Def take ballet though,your right it is amazing don't care about what others say.
