Question: Dance class questions
I want to sign up for some sort of dance class!. But I'm not sure what type!. I've never taken any classes before so I'm unexperienced!. What do you think I should take!? I'm 14, if that helps at all!. I'm willing to do just about anything except I'm not so sure about hip hop!.!.!. I'd be taking private lessons, too!. also, when you first start, do they make you dance or something!? Like just to see what you know!?
Please help
ThanksWww@QuestionHome@Com

Well it depends!.

It really about your personality, your age, your flexibility and which dance you enjoy!.

If you're a party lover, loud and think you can dance quickly, hip hop is for you! Hip hop's good fun, it's not what you think it's like!.

If you're polite, elegant, not restless and can stand a bit of pain, ballet is for you!. If you want to work professionally and wear ponite shoes, you'll meet a little bit of pain!. Ballet is also suitable for adults with no experience!.

Jazz - if you have a strong passion for dance and enjoy musicals! You may want to learn how to do the splits below if you cannot yet do them, splits help with every style of dance!.

If you like moving your feet, tap is for you! You have to be patient for tap though, it may seem really boring when you first start!.

Ballroom: if you enjoy working with other people and don't mind working with partners!. If you don't mind hard techniques and wearing high heels!!

How to do the splits:
Wear stretchy clothes to stay in the same position without getting too bored!. After exercising or having a hot shower or bath, stretch your legs out as far as you can for 20 seconds or more!. If you feel comfortable, stay there for 10 minutes or more!.
Do not make someone forcefully push you into stretches!.

Hope I helped and good luck!

It is all up to you!. They don't make you dance at my studio, but who knows about others!.

If you are energetic, goofy and silly, you would probably like jazz!.
If you are more sophisticated, elegant and peaceful, you would like ballet!.
If you are "out there", like to look wild and out of control, hip hop is for you!.
If you are really coordinated with your feet, like to make music, and have REALLY good rythem, do tap!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

well im totally passionate about ballet but alot of people think that it is boring- i believe that ballet is a great way to start a dancing career off- ballet is like a frame!.!. if you can do ballet youre pretty much set for everything else!. it develops technique, strength, flexibility and how to hold and support youre body!.!.!.

if you want a less stressful style- funk/hiphop, tap and jazz are good to do too!.

if you think hip hop is all about balancing and spinning on ur head ur wrong- there are all different types of hip hop or if you want to call the one im talking about "funk" it doesnt involve technique as such- it is more laid back and fun!.!.!. [if you know wat i mean!?]

hope this helped :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ask yourself what style you like first!.
Is it slow, fast, strong rythnm!?

For me, I like Modern and Hip Hop!. Because it's fun and somewhat fast paced not like ballet!.!.!. it bores me to listen to those classical music!.!.!. x!.x

It all depends on your personality, style!.
Dance to express not to impress!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
