Can tap dancing hurt ballet dancing?
no it cant --- Yes it can, the positions are very different and can harm technique. ----- Not particularly. I am on a tap and jazz competitive team and it is mandatory that I take ballet and everyone on the team takes ballet. Ballet is where most dance technique come from. But, if you are doing a toe stand, or toe knocks or wings or anything along those lines in tap, and and you turn your feet in, yes, you will definitely ruin that ballet technique. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No! I do both and I am improving in both especially ballet not going bakwards. I find it silly to think that because although in the Royal Ballet School they say so how could I be improving and my dance teacher be praising me more if tap dancing ruins Ballet technique!
