All Together


Ballet is the foundation to all styles.  Ballet, modern, jazz, and hip hop all call for great strength, flexibility, and passion.  Each of these styles connect with each other through similar technique, feet positions, and movements.  Being aware of the dancer's body will help the dancer to execute tricks easier.  It's important for a dancer to have some type of training in ballet because with knowing where an arm, focus, leg, or feet position is important to performing the style to it's fullest potential.

This video is a combination of the styles ballet, modern, jazz, and hip hop in one routine.  This was too choreographed by the well-known Travis Wall.  Are you able to point out the different styles and techniques used?
