| Dance
is movement. It’s not just walking around the mall, or making lunch but
it’s free movement. Dance makes you feel good. Whether to music, or just
the sounds of your surroundings, anyone can dance. This website is about
five types of organized dance; folk dance, ballet, tap, jazz, modern and
some of the people that have influenced these styles. Perhaps older than
the spoken language, dance has survived and no matter what, people have
kept on dancing. |

Graceful as a floating feather is a dancer in a tutu. These dancers have
produced ballets that can dazzle your imagination. Along with some of
these stories, you can learn how to begin dancing like Agnes De Mille on
the Ballet page. |
Did
you know, that not only are there dances in America, but in many other
countries as well?!? There are all sorts of exotic dances from
Ireland and very lively ones from Mexico. Exactly what
is the Dance of
the Little Old Men? You can find out in our Folk
Dance page. |
| Jazz
isn't just the toots from a saxophone or a clarinet, it is a vibrant dance
that is very interesting to watch. The famous play Cats has a
mixture of jazz dancing. This is just one thing that you can learn from
our Jazz page. |
Remember
that old saying, "Shop 'til you drop?" Well, with us it is dance
'til your feet get tired! Tap with happy feet and you'll be stomping
rhythms all night long. Visit our Tap page and see
what it's all about. |
| Modern is a dance created by
those who were sick of the stiffness and perfection of ballet. If you are
one who does not like ballet and would like to see a little more spice in
dance or just to see what another kind of dance may be like, come and see
the Modern page. |
