Dance

Intro

When you dance you move, you have fun.

Did you know you can tell stories by dancing?

There are different styles of dancing and this is all about them.

Ballet

Ballet is a style of dance that is slow. The music is slow and your movement is slow.

You have to work hard, stretch your feet, have good posture.

Ballet was originated in russia and france

  In Ballet the moves are in french like a plie (which means a bend of the legs) and Arabesque,

Ballet stories

Using costumes, settings on stage and movement you can tell a story.

You don’t have to tell a story by talking you can show the story by dancing.

The popular ballet stories are, swan lake, the nutcracker, romeo and juliet and sleeping beauty, these are just a few.

Pointe

Pointe is when you go high up on your toes completely.

You wear special shoes that have a flat end at the toes to help you go up on pointe.

The age you can go on pointe is over 12 so keep working hard!

Jazz

Jazz is a style of dance that is fast, way faster than ballet.

In jazz you have to push yourself and be strong and powerful.

This is a good way to get exercise daily.

Jazz originated from america.

Barefoot

Barefoot dancing is flowy and pretty, most like ballet.

Barefoot is all about the arms moving.

Barefoot is not really a common dance it is special and unique.

In all I think dancing is great it is a great way to exercise and a great way to have fun if you don't already you should join dancing lessons.
