dance
I want to create a guide that tells people about
dance and what it is. I will give them an idea of
what to wear and what type of shoe to use. If you
want to become a dancer that you have to work
really hard. Some really good dancers dance more
than 8 hours a week. They work for what they
want. They do all types of dance from jazz to
ballet to hip-hop.

What is dance????????

• Dance for me is doing movements that express in
  some way your connection to music. This might be
  music blasting out of your stereo, or rumbling
  along inside your head. Dancing is like singing
  along with music.You can follow the melody. You
  can create harmonies you can do the bass
  line,you can beat box along with the rhythm. Just
  like singing, you should just be able to do it,
  without preparing anything first-improvisation,if
  you like.Real dancing always has some spontaneity
  in it- it relies on a spark in the moment that
  effects how you dance.You dont sing the same
  song the same way twice- unless youre a
  machine,100 performer.

Ballet training

• Women usually start ballet training at 5 to 8
  years of age with a private teacher or through
  an independent ballet school. Serious training
  traditionally begins between the ages of 10 and
  12. Men often begin their ballet training between
  the ages of 10 and 15. Many dancers have their
  first professional auditions by age 17 or 18.

What to wear to dance

• For ballet many teachers expect you to wear
  leotards, tights and a bun in your hair.
  Sometimes you have a certain color leotard that
  you have to wear. Like blue, pink, or purple. You
  also have to wear the right type of dance shoes
  for that specific class.
