Ballet, Tap and Jazz.

[Spitfire]

There are a number of posters here who have a background in Ballet, Tap and Jazz. Just wondered if anyone is currently active in any of these as much as those of us are with social dancing.

Not actually taking classes, but use elements of them all the time. :D

I just started taking tap again, and I'll probably start ballet and/or jazz again soon too.

I currently participate in tap and while likely pick up adult jazz again this summer. It's not offered throughout the year...only summer.

I occassionally take a ballet or jazz class, but just to keep in shape, work my flexibility. My knees won't allow me to do it more than once a week.

Well...I took ballet when I was three...I don't remember my recital, but according to family stories I spent the entire dance going the opposite direction from everyone else. I apparently didn't believe in following the steps, I just twirled and jumped and did whatever I felt like doing... :D

I haven't taken tap or jazz, but I did two years of clogging back when I was in high school. I don't remember much about it, but I do know I had fun!

That's an adorable story, LindyQuest. Too bad your family didn't get it on video. Great blackmail footage. :wink: :D

I've done a bit of adult ballet. It's fabulous. Of course I'll never be int he Australian ballet but my spotting is getting pretty good.

Nope, no videos, not even a Super-8 film. But I think there are some Polaroids hidden somewhere... :wink:

[crystal clear]

I mainly focus on my Tap - Jazz and Ballet are part of the lessons though. Once I get a bit better, I plan on going to auditions for stage shows. :)

I take ballet once a week, tap/ jazz 4 times a week, plus acro which we use in our jazz dances sometimes.... i used to do more but an ankle injury put a stop to that :cry:
