Ballet, modern, hip hop and lyrical

I dance ballet, modern, lyrical and hip hop dance. Over the years these dance styles have changed me and have taught me endurance, grace, creativeness, articulation and timing. I'm excellent because of the ceaseless training I got from learning these dance styles. Honestly I feel a sense of fulfillment each time I do them. Give it a try.

Live Love Dance

I take ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe. I enjoy them all but I am a ballet dancer more than anything else. I've been dancing since a young age and hope to keep dancing.

I want to be a professional

I already dance, it's just that I want to be recognized as a professional dancer. (I do the Robot Invade, in case you are wondering, and I am currently brilliant at it. So all I want is a street crew to recognize me so I can join. I enjoy dancing on stage since I've done it a lot.)

Modern and Ballet!

I'm 15 and this is my 12th year of dancing. I've always taken ballet since I was 5. I started modern last year and it's my favorite! I've also done jazz, hip hop, clog, tap, tumbling and cheer dance. Modern and ballet are still my favorites!

I love lyrical and tap!

I love lyrical because you have sad and depressed and happy facial expressions and so far this year and last year I have had five lyrical solos. I love tap because it is happy and cute and so far this year and last year I have had three tap solos. Just saying, this year and last year I have had two jazz solos, one hip hop solo, one contemporary solo, and one acro solo.

I am not into dancing so much.

I enjoy creating my own dances with actions and things like that and it is not really dancing. It is called my dancing, I just enjoy swinging to the music and moving my shoulders around - that's it. So swinging and not too slow or not too fast waltz because all you need to do is follow the movements to do it, and tap sounds good to me.

My favorite dance

I love dancing Latin dance, flamenco dance, contra dance, swing dance, hip-hop dance, jazz dance, salsa dance, tap dance and African dance. For me, dancing is life, for it brings out the light in me.

Wow!

There are so many different types of dance it is not even funny! This list doesn't have every single type, but it is close. My favorite type of dance to dance is contemporary, but I enjoy watching pointe ballet the most. Dance is my way of showing my feelings and relaxing.

Salsa!

Although I am unable to salsa dance myself, my sister is a very talented salsa dancer. I hope to someday follow in her footsteps! Hope I was able to give you another type!

Dance is amazing

I'm 14 and this is my 11th year dancing now. I have done so many types, and now doing street, jazz, double street, contemporary and tap, and thinking of starting dance again doing tap, ballet, street, and contemporary at least. Dance is the best thing in the whole universe.

Electronic dance styles

I like electronic dance styles along with others. Anything with a decent tempo that is upbeat like tecktonik, mel. shuffle, jumpstyle and c-walking. I like to incorporate Micheal Jackson moves into my dancing as well. To me dancing is lifestyle and it clears my mind and lets me forget about my worries for awhile.

C-walk, shuffle, jumpstyle and tecktonik

I love doing all kinds of dances and melting them into a soild fluid style. I really love Micheal Jackson. I'm working on being able to do more then three spins at a time.

Three dance styles

I LOVE hip-hop, belly dancing, and I wouldn't mind trying out ballet dancing...it wouldn't hurt me.
—Guest Pebblez

Love Latin!

I actually got proposed to after doing a latin dance with my now husband!
—Guest Woohoo

Jiggin'

There is a new type of dancing called Jiggin'. Some may take it as some type of fishing technique but it's not just that. I love to dance, I dance in every moment of my life, but this is my favorite type of dance!
