What Is Dance

Dance is a sport and art form that refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music, used as a form of expression, social interaction or just for fun because you love dancing.

Types of Dance

Ballet

Ballet is more of the traditional styles of dance. It usually consists of slow music and graceful movements. There are many types of ballet forms but the two I like are Contemporary and Classical Ballet. Contemporary ballet is a form of dance influenced by both classical and modern dance. Classical Ballet is the most formal of ballet styles, it has mostly traditional ballet styles.

Jazz

Jazz has a lot of flashy moves and has a lot of different movements, The movements are more sharp and of flexed property.

Tap

Tap dancing involves a lot of rhythms. Tap shoes are what makes tap so distinct from other types of dance styles. This type of dance focus more on your feet and your feet movements rather than your whole body. There are many concepts of tap dancing because you have to make the sounds clear rather than "muffled", you have to learn to move your feet in certain patterns in order to create different types.

Point  

Point is very distinct for its shoes, they are narrow and have a flat point. In order to do this dance style you have to be conditioned and balanced. This dance requires you to be standing on the tips of your shoes rather than your heels.

Hip Hop Dance

Hip Hop is more of a free style, break dancing type of dance. Hip Hop is moved by listening to the beats and creating moves.

Modern Dance

Modern dance is mostly movement. In modern dancing it tells a story, by the way someone moves, or the emotions and expressions on their face.

Lyrical

Lyrical is a combination of ballet, jazz, and modern. Lyrical means to express the meaning of the "lyrics" in the song. Grace and fluency is important in this type of dance, leaps should be high and soaring and turns should be clean and should flow well.
