Hip Hop Tutus
Ballet or Jazz dance classes?
Next month I finally get to go to Dance Class! [I'm 12 years old, about to be 13 in September!] I’ve been wanting to join ever since I was younger, All my friends say It’s extremely fun… I’m taking Hip-Hop for sure but I also want to take a second class… Should it be Ballet or Jazz? I’m not sure. Here’s some questions I have about Dance too…
1. Is Ballet hard? Does it hurt your toes a lot?
2. Do you HAVE TO wear the pink tutus and stuff? Can’t you just wear a black stretchy dance thingy or something? [XD That sounded so immature]
3. If you took Dance Classes, was Jazz fun? What are some of the moves called?
4. What do Ballet and Jazz have in common?
5. Would I lose weight by Dancing?
** Add any other info you know about Ballet**
Thank You so much! :]
Ok.
1. Ballet is a very demanding style. You must be serious about your training. Ballet is the basis and foundation for all other dancing. (Jazz, lyrical, tap, ballroom, and yes. . . Hip Hop) It can be hard, but also very rewarding once you see your progress.
2. No. Tutu’s are usually for small children and recitals. You will probably wear some sort of uniform. Usually Black leotard and pink tights. And pink ballet slippers.
3. Jazz is very fun as well. It’s extremely aerobic. Meaning you’ll be moving a lot and sweating a lot. You’ll also get to dance to popular and contemporary music.
4. Ballet is the foundation of Jazz. They will both have similar turns and leaps. Pirouettes, Plie’s, Releve’s, Passe’s, Pique’s, Jetes, Battements, and Pas de Bourrees. Check an online dictionary for the proper pronunciation of these terms. They sound different than they are spelled. (The French!)
5. You most likely will lose weight by dancing. Unless you are extremely underweight for your body type and height. In that case, you will probably gain a little weight in muscle and tone.
My personal advice: Try ballet. Ballet and Hip Hop are on opposite sides of the spectrum. You will be a better dancer in Jazz (later on) if you have a strong foundation in Ballet. Ballet will also help you in Hip Hop because it makes you aware of your body, balance, composure, and memory. It is a discipline, but a truly worthwhile one at that. Good Luck. And who knows??? You might like it. 
Have fun.
