Ballet/Jazz/Tap Dance

Ballet/Jazz/Tap Dance Feature Writer: Terry Finch

From the classical Swan Lake to modern Alvin Ailey, Fosse to burlesque, Fred Astaire to Gregory Hines, Ballet, Jazz and Tap Dance can encompass a multitude of styles and concepts. When children learn the fundamentals of dance, ballet is established as the foundation for other styles. Jazz is the stylistic incorporation of movement, and tap involves freedom of the feet and percussive rhythms.

Suite 101's Ballet/Jazz/Tap Dance category fuses dance styles, how-tos, and commentary on studio dance classes and professional performances in the world today. Please email me with insights and ideas in any style of dance.
