[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the last poster.

There are many forms of dance in that are not ballet based.

The one poster mispoke and gave incorrect information.

Ballet is not the foundation of tap.

African dance is the foundation of tap, influenced by Irish dance and evolving through vaudeville.

But ballet is where it all begins. You need a foundation in ballet before you can dance well in other disciplines and many reputable studios require such. [quote]
 
[b]Really?

How about, "You need a foundation in ballet before you can dance well in other types of dance that are related to ballet"? [/b][quote]

Why such an aggressively ignorant response? Your PP was right--ballet is the basis for all types of formal dance instruction--jazz, tap, flamenco, lyrical, character, etc. Even pro sports players are known to take ballet for strength training.[/quote]

There is a lot of dance (and dance instruction) in the world that is not jazz, tap, flamenco, lyrical, character, etc.
