Top 10 Best Styles of Dance
Now this isn't sprinkler or worm (If you think the sprinkler or worm are dance go take lessons! I mean what are you waiting for?) This is jazz, lyrical, hiphop.If you're not a dancer now or well if you "thought" you were as in sprinkler, you CAN still try it. In dance you're never too old or young to learn in dance age doesn't matter only the dance does.
So this is a really funny story somewhat related to ballet. We were at a performance and about to go on stage when these other people showed up and started claiming they had booked our dressing room. We argued that they had no authority to do that and that only our director, Ms. Paula, did. They sarcastically implied they were scared of being kicked or trampled.
Honestly, who spends half their life in a ballet studio and doesn't know how to avoid kicks? In the end, we had to move to a leaky hallway because we thought they would discard our things and take over our dressing room by the time we got back from the stage.
Lyrical dance is just so fun! If you disagree, you're crazy.
It's such a pretty style, so why not love it?
Hip hop is a type of dance where you'll have heaps of fun and burn all that energy. It's easy and makes for a great show to watch.
Hip hop lets you express yourself and feel free while working very hard!
All you need is fun and freedom.
I do contemporary and love it. Most dances, like jazz and others, focus on shapes, whereas contemporary is the in-between of those shapes.
My favorite style is contemporary because it has the least amount of turns (besides tap). I am NOT a turner, so I like this style a LOT.
I love contemporary. It's like every modern dance style mashed into one.
Tap is the best. I've been doing it since I was two years old, and I'm now twelve and still love it. I won two championships last year and wouldn't want to have won them in any other style!
Tap is great, and it's really fun. Once you pick up the basics, it's truly enjoyable!
Tap is really fun! It's annoying when people randomly tap their feet and call it tap dancing.
Everybody dance now! (Maybe throw in one sprinkler, but in dance class, that's not cool!) Shut up and dance!
Freestyle is a dance that lets you express your feelings in a whole bunch of different ways.
Jazz is the best. I take five dance classes a week, and two are Jazz. At my last competition, I got tenth place for Jazz, and we do NOT deserve this! Ballet sucks anyway.
Jazz is my all-time favorite. It has lots of movement and is a good style if you want a more exciting and fun dance!
There are a lot of different Jazz styles, like Broadway Jazz, Classical Jazz, and Modern Jazz. Also, you'll often hear the word WERK. I have one thing to say: You better WERK.
Clogging is the most fun, fast-paced, and enjoyable style. I absolutely love it!
The Newcomers
Irish Dance is one of the hardest and most fun types of dance. It's challenging, requiring you to stand on your tiptoes with perfect posture, arms straight by your side, while keeping your feet arched and turned out the whole time. With hard shoes, you need very fast feet and incredible timing.
It's also one of the most competitive sports, with six different levels where you must place 1st out of six or more competitors to move up. Irish dance is also probably the most expensive, with $2,500 designer solo dresses, shoes that cost over $100, and wigs and hair accessories that can be very pricey. You also have to pay to compete, cover costs for hotels, airfare, gas, etc.
Despite the costs, it's a very competitive sport, with regionals, nationals, and worlds. There's no monetary reward, but you gain incredible muscular legs, thousands of awards, lifelong friends, and most importantly, the ability to do something so different from more common dances like ballet. I love Irish Dancing!
I did modern dance as an after-school activity, and it is not as easy as most people think!
Disco is one of my favorites. Great music, great moves!
Eye of the Tiger! Yes, disco is dancing!
B-boying is incredibly difficult - harder than any dance style except ballet.
Bollywood is such an exciting dance, especially when performed with all the complicated moves!
Acrobatic dance is one of the most popular styles, and it's very complicated. It's one of my favorites.
I'm a flexible person, so acrobatic dance is one of my favorites.
You're crazy. Salsa is the dance of life. It's amazing. Number one, no matter what this list says.
Samba is fun and energetic. I compete in it, and I have a lot of fun doing so.
