Ballet, Modern, and Jazz

Ballet, modern, and jazz are all styles that are very similar.  The five ballet positions that I've mentioned earlier are the basic steps or feet positions for each of these styles.  Ballet and modern are very similar in style and flowing movements with controlled lifts.  Ballet and jazz are also very similar because of the same technique used, strict body placements, and sharpness of certain movements.  Modern and jazz is also similar because they both call for self-expression and creativity.  Both styles are open to creating new tricks through improvisation.  But mostly, each of these styles call for great flexibility, technique placement (to do multiple turns), stamina, and body control.
