  1. Dancing By Erin Jones 7 Red

  2. Why dance? • Dancing is a great sport that keeps you fit and is really fun. There are many styles of dance including Hip Hop, Contemporary, Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Funk, Lyrical, Acro and Troupe. • Dancing strengthens your muscles, improves your performance skills and trains your brain to remember technique and steps.

  3. WHY I ENJOY DANCING. • Dancing is my favourite hobby because I do it with my friends and I love performing. • I have been dancing since I was 2 and I dance Ballet, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Jazz and Tap at Live2Dance.

  4. Before you start dancing you need to: Stretch your legs, back and arms. Drink lots of water. Eat some fruit or a muesli bar. Tie all your hair back out of your face. Always concentrate on your teacher and go over your dances many times especially when you need to learn a dance very quickly like I had to do one night at my dance school.

  5. Styles of dance • Hip Hop • Hip Hop also known as street dance is a fast paced style of dancing that include sub styles such as popping, locking and breaking. • Ballet • Ballet is a very classic style of dance that requires technique and poise. • Contemporary • Contemporary is like Ballet but it can be much more characteristic and dramatic. There is a lot more moving in Contemporary.

  6. Styles of dance • Jazz • Jazz is a modern style of dance that can be fast or slow and is usually themed with the music. • Tap • Shoes worn in tap have metal plates on the toe that make a beat or ‘tap’ sound when hit against the floor. • Lyrical • Lyrical dance is dancing done to lyrics and words, not music.

  7. In a performance • Have your shoes polished and your costumes ironed and clean. • Your make up must include foundation, eye liner, mascara or false eyelashes and red lipstick. • Before every routine stretch and go through your steps in your mind. • Unless it is not in the theme of your dance, always smile!

  8. This is an example of one of my favourite types of dance, Hip Hop. At my dance school for Hip Hop we are dancing to #thatPOWER by Will.I.am. And Lets Get Ridiculous by RedFoo • This is some great Hip Hop choreography by Eduardo Amorimto Usher Scream. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsX2dMVMLeM

  9. Dance is a really great sport and even if you don’t end up doing it as a career it’s a great way to keep fit, strong and focused.
