[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ballet is not the foundation of hop hop. It is not the foundation of rhythm tap.[/quote] One can be a very successful and professional hip hop or tap dancer without ever having donned a pair of pink tights or setting foot in a ballet class. The movement required for hip hop is diametrically opposite to what is required for classical ballet. Hip hop and tap are both welcoming of all body types. One does not need to be a thin tiny body with long graceful limbs and just the right head shape to become a professional dancer in tap or hip hop. Body types are just not an issue in those genres in the same way it is for ballet. Ballet is very beneficial. Don't get me wrong. But to say that ballet is the only route for a child to become a dancer is just wrong. There are other ways and tap and hip hop are two styles that do not require ballet to be successful. [/quote]
