Okay!.!.!.

You don't need to know any gymnastics at all if you're just starting out, cos you'll pick it up as you start your training!. If you're going to be a serious street dancer, you'll need to be strong and flexible, but won't need flips just yet!. Like I said, you'll learn them and other tricks as you go along, it's part of the dance!. If you're just going in for hip hop, then you won't need flips at all!. Street is like hip hop, but takes it to another level!. You've got hardcore moves, tricks, flips, and breakdancing involved too!. Hip hop is literally just the dancing!.
With both dance types, you need to have solid freestyling, with variety!. Don't just keep it all the same!.

Good luck

No, you don't need gymnastics at all when you're just starting out!. Eventually your choreographers may throw some gymnastics moves in to make dances more interesting, but they won't be anything as hard as flips!. Besides, when you start dancing, you'll naturally gain muscle, especially if you take ballet, and this will help your gymnastics ability!. Hope this helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No being both a dancer and a gymnast I did not need to know gymnastics for dance!. There may be a few times when a choreographer wants to have maybe a cartwheel in the dance but that's all i can think off!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You don't HAVE to be able to!.!. I can't!. For dance like street and stuff if your looking into a profession then i would learn how to it'll greatly up your chances!Www@QuestionHome@Com
