I took ballet for 4 years and it was a very fulfilling year for me. :) yes. It is very difficult (ballet dancers can attest to that!) but nothing compares to the experience. It's sooo much different from other dances. Now I've been very very busy with college. The schedule is very hectic. It would be hard for me to continue ballet together with the course that I took so I decided to stop dancing ballet.
NOW. With so much loads of school works and all that.. I never had the time to take any dance class. I'm starting to gain weight! So I'm planning to attend a dance class BUT I don't know what kind of dance so to everyone I need your help. Of course ballet wouldn't be included in my list. It requires sooo much of your time. You just have to sacrifice everything.

I'm planning to take jazz or hiphop... for fun and stress reliever. :D I also want to get back to my old shape so which one do you think is better??

Hi, jazmine16!

I'm sorry that no one came along to address your question! Just from my experience, I think that jazz dance would give you more variety than what you might find in hip-hop.

What other sort of art types of activities are you involved in, please?

Thanks!

Oh. Many thanks to you clough!
Ill take note of that.
Well. I haven't tried other dances aside from those three. But most probably ill go with jazz... :)

Hi again, Hi, jazmine16!

What I meant was, are there any other things that you're also involved in concerning the arts of any kind, please? For instance, do you play a musical instrument?

Thanks!

How long did you play the piano?

Thanks!

For... 5 years :)

Five years is a pretty good length of time.

The reason that I'm asking you these questions, is because I'm very much into the arts of a number of different kinds. We have a quite a few artists here who have been involved in a number of disciplines in the arts - music, drama, writing, painting, drawing, crafts, etc.

I like to find those people who might like to share some of their art in other forum topic areas of this site in order to make it more enriching for everyone, and I'm wondering if you might be interested in doing that.

Have you ever written the lyrics to a song, or might like to write the lyrics to a song?

Thanks!

Ohhh I NEVER did that. Haha. The only reason why I studied piano was becoz it's part of our music subject back when I was still in high school. We get to choose any instruments we want to play so I decided to play the piano.

That sounds interesting. I can share lots of infos when it comes to dancing and a little bit about piano :)

Clough

Okay, fair enough. I was looking to see if you might like to write the lyrics to a song and have it put to music.

Was just a thought...

Thanks!

Not sure if have the talent for that... :l but I'm interested :)

Clough

If you're interested, then why not give it a try? I can help you with words and/or music.

You might find that you have a talent that you didn't know that you had! Maybe, it's just something that needs to be practiced and developed!

Please take a look at what is on the following two threads.

Oh OK. Ill check that out. Thanks a lot!!

Clough

If you might like to do something like writing a song, please put it in the Writing (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/writing/) forum topic area. That is one of the areas that I moderate, and if something goes "oops" then I'll be able to fix it.

I rarely find people on this site where I'm able to help with the things about which I know the most. So, when the opportunity is there, I really appreciate the opportunity and love to do it! I believe, in doing so, helps to enrich the site.

Thanks!

Oh thank a lot clough! I'm also interested in writing poems but it's difficult! I find pleasure in reading it but I just can't do any of my own.
But still... il try..

Clough

I can also help you to improve with your poetry! There's also some others on the site who can help you greatly with that!

The important thing is to just get started!

Thanks!

I do hope that you'll post something in the Writing forum topic area, jazmine16!

Thanks!

I have done ballet, tap, jazz, modern and recently ballroom. Jazz was my favorite until ballroom. Talk about getting into shape!! And variety? You'll never get bored - Swing, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Rhumba, Tango, Waltz, Foxtrot, Bolero... the list goes on and on. You can study American Style or International.

The possibilities are endless!

Hopefully this gives you an option that you hadn't seen before!

Much love,

Hi again, jazmine16!

I'm still wondering if you want to take me up on my offer that I proposed earlier for the song writing? If you don't have time, that's okay.

Thanks!

I've done both types of dancing and this is my advice.

If you're looking for something that is close to ballet, jazz is a better option. It is also closer to classical music which brings out certain points in both dances: series of mouvements flow one after the other, each mouvement is precise and defined.

If you're looking more into a work-out, hip-hop is more your thing (depending on the instructor). I haven't found one activity that needs so much energy. Also, if you like modern music, hip hop is a good idea.

Dance is a way to express your style. So, what will you choose? To match your style or to trying a new one

I have taken all 3 types of dance and more. With Ballet training I believe jazz would be the best for you. I believe you will find that more fun and you will be amazed how much our old ballet skills come in handy.. =]

Hi again, jazmine16!

Like I've already mentioned to you earlier on this thread, I'd be more than happy to help you with writing poetry and songs. Please just let me know.

If you're not interested, that's okay. But, it would be an opportunity for you to also express yourself in other ways...

Thanks!

Me personally I like hip-hop dancing it is filled with excitement and fun but can be strenuous I have my own dance crew and we practice 4days out f the week and it is tiresome but a great way to get in shape

Hi, iaynebryant!

Famous doing what, please?

This is the old and archived thread of someone else. It's no longer visible on the listing of currently active threads. Also, this place doesn't work the same way that a chat room does. New questions need to be asked by starting new threads.

I can move your question to a new thread. However, I would appreciate more information from you as to what it's concerning before I do that.

Thanks!
