[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But ballet is where it all begins. [b]You need a foundation in ballet before you can dance well in other disciplines[/b] and many reputable studios require such. [/quote] Really? How about, "You need a foundation in ballet before you can dance well in other types of dance that are related to ballet"? [/quote] Well, I found that to be quite true. I studied ballet as a child and adolescent but found that the ballet immediately morphed into modern dance and jazz dance. I just had to remember to keep the knee bent "in" as opposed to "out" (ballet) for jazz. Then I competed for our high school gymnastics team with no other background than the ballet. Did some tap as well. Ballroom. So, yes, I think ballet is a fine foundation for a number of other forms of dance or sport. Most competitive gymnasts and ice skaters are required to take outside ballet classes for the grace and poise. [/quote]
