Ballet

Ballet is a unique style of dance and is something very vital for all dancers. There are many different variations on how ballet is taught, but they all teach of the same technique. Ballet is a very structured type of dance. Unlike hip-hop, and jazz, ballet is very conservative and placed. Also, there is a certain dance attire that ballerinas wear. A leotard, pink tights, ballet shoes, and a hair in a bun is usually what you will see a ballerina wearing. Ballet is usually danced to classical music and something very soft. Training and perfecting ballet takes a lot of time, and focus. It teaches about proper technique and how to make certain connections within your body. Ballet goes as far back as the Renaissance. King Louis VII appreciated art, and supported the arts a lot. That is why the Renaissance is a revival of literature and art under the influence of classical models in the 14th to 16th centuries. There are many performances such as Swan Lake, and the Nutcracker, that are all ballet pieces.

Dance

Dance is an art form, and gives people the freedom to express themselves. Dance starts way back, and continues to live, grow, and inspire. There are many different forms of dancing such as hip-hop, lyrical, modern, ballet, contemporary, jazz, musical theatre, tap, plus many more. All the styles are similar, but different in many ways. In order to do most styles of dance, including hip-hop, it is important to have some sort of ballet background. Ballet teaches about proper technique and how to use your core. Dance for most people is their passion and is just as hard as any other sport. Dance is worldwide and is open to all ages. Today, there are many professional company's and dance studios that are open for many people to join and take class.

Introduction.

I will be using this blog to talk to about, dancing.  Dancing is something that I am very passionate about. I have been dancing since I was 2, and ever since it has always been something that I loved to do. It has been a big part of my life and I would like to share everything about dance and share my interest with you. I have studied many styles of dance and have danced professionally. Many people dance for a living, and others do it as a hobby. Either way, it is also a great way to keep your body moving and active. Like any other sport, dance requires a lot of effort and hard-work and is just as challenging.
