BALLET: An art-form that expresses our feelings or tells a story. It promotes grace and poise but requires hard work, strength, flexibility, patience, and dedication. It takes discipline and practice to learn the proper technique to perform it well. An important technical basis for all forms of dance, particularly jazz.

TAP: Uses intricate footwork and sounds to create rhythmic variations to accompany a variety of musical styles. Can also be performed acapella. Metal taps on the shoes create variety in tones and beats.

JAZZ:
