The Essentials

     It is the friday before vacation and I am so excited. It has been a long week but we got through it!!! Anyways, On this post it will tell you a lot about what to keep in your dance bag. It is very important to keep a dance bag, so you stay organized and you bring everything you need to dance class.  In my dance bag I keep all my shoes extra dance clothes, plenty of water and extra hair items (hair elastics, hair pins, etc). It is also smart to keep deodorant, in your bag as well because even though it is dance it causes you to work hard. The bag I use is a Nike bag and it is a good size bag. Depending if you dance a lot you should have a bigger dance bag and if you don't dance as much and take fewer classes than you should have a smaller dance bag.

     On this blog I plan to talk about many different types of dance. The first type I'm going to talk about is Jazz. Well first the history of jazz. Jazz was first refured to a style of dancing during WW1. Though jazz really started from the African Americans before the 1950's when they were brought to America on slave ships. Jazz then transformed into a theatre performance. This required highly trained dancers.  Today most jazz songs are used from popular music today. If you want to learn about jazz history even more you can go to this website that I have referenced to:

   Jazz today has evolved into many different types today. For a Jazz dance class you either wear jazz shoes or just bare feet. For clothing it depends what your dance studio allows. Jazz is a more upbeat dance compared to lyrical and contemporary. I like this type of dance and you need a lot of energy for it. Well that is all for now !! Have a great weekend !!
