    Ballet is a rigorous style of dance that forms the foundation of most dance training. Dancers typically wear ballet shoes until developing strength for pointe shoes around age 12. Ballet teaches technique, coordination, and musicality. Jazz combines elements of many styles in high-energy dance to upbeat music. Modern was created in rebellion against ballet's rigidity but shares its complexity. Hip hop originated from street dances like popping and locking to rap/urban music. Interpretive dance depicts emotions or tells stories through modern dance movements.

    BALLET

    Tutus, pointe shoes and men in
    tights are what come
    to mind when
    someone mentions
    ballet. Yet Ballet is so much
    more than that. Said to be the
    most difficult genre to master,
    ballet is a rigorous style of
    dance that is the foundation
    of most forms of dance
    training. It is usually set, but
    not limited to, orchestrated music and is often
    the first dance style a child will experience as
    they begin their dance classes. Ballet
    shoes are usually worn until the dancer's
    feet have developed enough strength to
    progress into pointe shoes, often happens around the age of
    12 and only after the students have been given permission
    by their teacher. Ballet is an excellent teaching tool for all
    dancers as it is a complex mixture of technique,
    coordination and musicality.
    JAZZ

    Jazz is the most popular style of dance among dancers.


    Jazz combines all dance styles in a high energetic dance that
    is without conventional boundaries. It has been influenced by
    ballet, modern, tap, hip-hop, African dance and many more
    styles. Jazz is most often accompanied by upbeat, currently
    popular songs. Jazz shoes typically have a leather
    split sole which offers the dancers foot more
    freedom to bend and move. Due to the upbeat
    music, dramatic themes and cool
    choreography, it isn’t hard to see why this
    is the most popular dance style!

    MODERN
    Modern was said to be first created as a
    rebellion against classical ballet. A raw style
    of dance, modern dance is an expression on the
    dancers' relationship to the floor,
    including methods of contractions,
    release and movement, as well as the
    dancer's of breath. Modern dancers have a variety of shoes to choose
    from that allow freedom in the foot while providing protection from
    the floor. Though its roots are in opposition to the seemingly
    oppressive rigour for classical ballet, modern and ballet are closely
    linked in the complexity of technique, coordination and musicality.
    HIP-HOP

    Hip Hop is an edgy, raw and intense


    urban dance style also known as
    Street Dance. The origin of popping,
    locking and crumping.

    Hip Hop is mostly danced to rap, urban and not surprisingly, hip
    hop music. Funky, high-top dance sneakers are normally worn by
    dancers. What sets Hip Hop apart from most dance genres is that
    its original street dance was freestyle in nature and did not follow a
    predefined choreography. A style of dance that is open to personal
    expression, Hip hop artists were free to interpret the dance in any
    way they could, and this lead to many innovative and exciting dance
    styles.
    INTERPRETATIVE

    A form of
    modern
    dance in which the dancer's movements depict an emotion or tell a
    story. Synonyms: interpretative dance, interpretative dancing,
    interpretive dancing Type of: modern dance. a style of theatrical
    dancing that is not as restricted as classical ballet; movements are
    expressive of feelings.
