[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well I think you know the answer to this question already. Ballet is a very rigorous training. What you are describing is casual dance classes, which many kids take for fun. Its not really comparable.[/quote] But if both kids are taking classes 6 days a week, why would ballet classes be considered more impressive than hip hop, jazz and tap? Is it mainly just the snooty factor? [/quote] Its about the physical demands of the ballet being far greater than the physical demands of hip hop or jazz or tap. If you don't know this, you have no business discussing dance.[/quote] I have a MA in dance and I completely disagree. You can half ass ballet at a local studio with crappy teachers just as easily as you can half-ass other types of Dance with crappy teachers at a local studio. There are thousands and thousands of crappy ballet teachers, you don’t even get a pass if they are Russian. [/quote]
