BALLET

unbelievable that learning ballet can be useful to a hip hop or tap dancer, but the skill and technique
acquired during ballet class is actually really, really helpful for all styles of dance! Ballet focuses so
strongly on technique and the basics of dance movement that is incredibly helpful when dancers
begin to learn other dance styles. Believe it or not, basic ballet movements such as plies and tend us,
are constantly used throughout all styles of dance, and can often be found in contemporary and jazz
performances. Technique is mastered in ballet class, and this translates through to all dance styles.
