Ballet is the skeleton of dance,
dating back to the time of King Louis XIV in France. His royal court dances
evolved into what we know as Ballet. Today, there are several forms of dance:
Jazz, tap,hip hop/breaking, flamenco, African, modern and liturgical/praise
dance and more. Although each dance has its own technique and style, the
fundamentals of Ballet are sprinkled throughout each genre. At the root, you have Ballet.
Students with a solid foundation in
ballet tend to excel in other genres because they have mastered discipline and
technique, and they have an appreciation and love for all forms of dance.
Modern is an earthy, gravity-friendly dance that celebrates constriction and
involves the essence of the soul. It adapts several dance techniques and
utilizes the same foot and arm positions as ballet. Jooking, a common Memphis
dance style in the urban community, requires both males and females to apply
opposition and ballet moves to a hip hop beat. Ballet is the root of fusion
with each dance style there is.
