Dance!

                          Recently, I've been into dance a lot. I guess because am taking dance, I wanted to learn more about it. There are many types of dances. One type is Modern Dance it started in the 1920's. The well known dancers that began this were Isadora Duncan and Ruth St. Denis. This was a beginning of something new before people used to dance ballet but then people got bored and wanted a dance to be able to explain there mood and what they were feeling. They used their bodies to show what they felt like to show their happiness, passion, fear or sadness. In modern dance dancers get to be more creative and were different clothes than you would wear in ballet.

                                          
                             Ballet is a formalized, structured performance dance. It originated from the Italian renaissance in the 15th century. This is a very common dance any most children at a young age join ballet dancing. Ballet is usually danced to classical music. One thing I especially like about ballet is pointe. I find it so amazing when the dancers stand on there toes. That is a hard thing to achieve and it takes a lot of practice and first you must take ballet then you would be able to pointe. You must have a lot of practice because if you try to do it without practice you can really get hurt.

                        Jazz Dance is used mainly in commercials,television shows, movies, music videos. It has many high jumps, quick turns, unique moves, a lot of movement and moving a lot of feet. Jazz dance it used to express the person itself and show their personality. In this dance you show a lot of energy and have fun with the dance. One of the persons to create many moves in jazz dance is Jack cole. It has many leaps and music that is fun and energetic. In this type of dance you would wear tight clothes to show of your movements.
