BALLET ~ classical theatrical dancing based on the danse d'ecole, the rules and vocabulary that were codified around 1700 in France. It is a formalized type of dancing in which the dancers, through planned movement to accompanying music, present a story or develop an abstract concept.

 
JAZZ~ is a fast-paced, fast moving, very stylized form of dance. You use the entire body, being able to isolate the head, shoulders, hips, arms and fingers with movement.

TAP ~ is dance that involves lots of footwork keeping rhythmic patterns on your feet (tap shoes).

HIP HOP ~ popular urban youth culture dance, associated with rap music and stylized dance movement.
