What are the Similarities about tap dance and jazz dance?

Answer 1

Both of them need balance. Jazz is more upbeat and a little more "free". In jazz you look for big kicks. In Ballet you want to be controlled and a little slower. If you take ballet you will be better at jazz. Ballet is the base of all dance. ballet and jazz are similar in a lot of ways. The stuff you do is very close to the same thing. But jazz is bigger and faster.

but it kind of depends as well because i take ballet and jazz but i find jazz a bit harder i think it's because you have got to relax completely when taking jazz.

Answer 2

I am taught and compete in Jazz dancinf an dmany of my Friends are ballet dancers. In other words I have watched and been involved in both styles of dance. The similaraties are:

both require ballance

both require correct technique

both require some flexibility

both are beautiful, difficult, strenuous and require talent

also, in many studios in order to take a jazz class you must also take a ballet class, because ballet teaches all turns and leaps used for jazz

Answer 3

Many of the moves as in pirouettes and kicks are the smae between these two dances. Jazz and Tap are also similar to Ballet because ballet and jazz work together. I would always recommend split soled tap shoes as you must also point your toes in tap which is not easy if the sole is hard.

Answer 4

All dancing using feet. But I feel that ballet and tap dancing uses mostly their feet and lower part of the body while other types such as belly dancing and hip hop and various others uses more of everything

in both you can't fling your arms around and you have to in both keep in time like any other dancing. (I think you should ask my dance teacher).

Answer 5

The use some of the same steps, body movements, coordination, and skill. Both styles are very fun and are a great way to help you stay in shape!

Answer 6

Tap dancing is louder than Jazz dancing

Answer 7

They are both a type of dance
