Jazz:

This term is an umbrella for many styles of dance that are interelated, and it has origins in tap, ballet, jazz rhythms and even Afro-American beats. As a matter of fact, Jazz was born through afro-american dances after the second half of the nineteenth century, to the first half of the twentieth. In the last 60 years, many more forms appeared, such as cakewalk, black bottom, charleston, jitterbug, boogie woogie, swing and it's closely related lindy hop. An although all of these variants are styles in themselves, the term Jazz relates them all and uses them to create beautiful and creative coreographies.

Ballet (classic)

Ballet is a formal dance that originated in the French Court, and it developed in France and Russia as a concert hall dance. It is the base of many other kinds of dance, and because of it great refinement, it is an excelent way to learn how to move the body with grace and smoothness, and great attention to detail.

Tap

Tap was developed in the USA during the Nineteenth Century, and it's name comes from the sound that the metal platforms on the shoes make when the dancer takes a step. This style transforms the dancer into a percussionist, so he/she helps the beat with their feet. Besides all of the benefits of dancing, this style also develops a geat sense of rhythm and coordination in an exceptional way.
