Should i take ballet or jazz?

i would definitely take ballet first. ballet is the foundation of all dance. If you wish to take jazz, ballet would help you improve your skill on them. In other words, if you want to do other cles, ballet will make you a much better dancer. Not only does it teach the steps and positions and turns like you said, but it also increases strength flexibility, and balance, which you will need to dance well! And dancing well doesnt just mean knowing the fancy french names for all the steps! For anybody who says ballet is not necessary, their wrong. It really is the whole background of dance. Jazz is made up of a lot of ballet technique.If you really dont think you need it, well im not going to stop you, im just saying i think you should! You can even take jazz too, or you can wait till youve been taking ballet for a year or so. hope i could help!
