Dance has a lot of different styles, like ballet, tap, hip-hop, and jazz. You can also find dance techniques used in many other sports.
Ballet is the main foundation to dance. Many football players do ballet classes because it helps their techniques in football. While doing ballet, you can’t just start off in pointe shoes, you have to learn the foundations to dance. It’s like getting introduced to a new lesson in math or starting to learn the lore of a Spiderman movie. The basics of ballet can be hard for some people because it includes some flexibility. Once people start getting more advanced and can do a simple pirouette (a ballet turn) or a few more turns, they can probably move up to pointe shoes.
Some styles of dance are almost the same, like jazz and tap, contemporary and modern, and some others. Talking about jazz and tap, they are actually both originally from Africa. They are from Africa because they are mainly about rhythm and sounds.
