2. Introduction
• Dance is a type of performing art that has
many details. The history, types of dance, and
what I personally love about dance.
3. History
• The art of dance has been very important in celebrations,
rituals, and entertaining certainly before the birth of the
earliest human. Just by the performing in telling myths might
have been how dance was discovered and still many people
still use that structure of dance. By the 18th century, one of
the most popular types of dance have been discovered. This
type of dance is called ballet. During the 18th and 19th century,
ballet traveled all throughout Europe. During the early 20th
century, people interested in performing arts made a new
type of dance out of ballet which is called contemporary. After
this kind of dance was discovered, modern dance came out of
that and eventually created so many more kinds of dance.
4. Types of Dance
• There are many types of dance that people don’t even know
about. All kinds of dance can come out of cultures. For
example belly dancing comes out of Greece, India, and
Bollywood. The known types of dance are or can be ballet,
jazz, modern, contemporary, hip hop, lyrical, Belly dancing,
tap dancing, broad way/and can even be musical theatre, and
ballroom dancing. There all also many other kinds of dance
that people may not know of such as afro jazz (African jazz),
Swing, chicago, flamenco and so much more. That’s only a bit
of the dances that people do. The next few slides will be on
types of dance that are well known!
5. Modern
• Modern is a well known type of dance that is very enjoyable,
cheerful, and can even be dramatic. Some people like to think
of modern almost like lyrical, jazz, and even ballet mixed all
together! In modern people usually or can wear jazz shoes,
foot undies, and can even go bear foot.

6. Jazz
• Jazz is a very popular and well known type of dance. I would
say that every dance school in the province knows of jazz and
teaches the very fun kind of dance. Who ever is registered in a
bunch of dance classes including jazz it would probably be
their most favourite class. In jazz, you can wear the exact
same as modern on your feet! That’s how similar jazz and
modern can be!
7. Hip Hop
• Hip hop is obviously a type of dance with more attitude
involved in it. Hip hop is fun because it is more of the careless
kind of dance unlike ballet or lyrical. Usually when you are
doing hip hop you will want to be wearing sneakers such as
pumas or runners! Occasionally at some dance schools
(sometimes not so much) you will see some kind of other jazz
shoe which can almost look like a runner.
8. Me + Dance =
• I would be lost without dance. Dance is one of my most
FAVOURITE activities that I do. During the week I dance about
16 hours. I compete, and perform all year around and even
take trips for dancing. I had experienced the best trip yet for
dance last year in Disney land! It was so much fun. Next to all
of the homework and school work that I do dance is the thing
that I do the most. I do many kinds of dance such as
contemporary, ballet, point, modern, jazz, and used to do
lyrical. I love dance and I always will! <3 ♥ ♥ ♥
14. Conclusion
• Dance is my most FAVOURITE thing and
activity in the whole entire world! Through
out all of my classes I will always cherish this
beautiful art that will always make me smile
. I hope that you learned or have learned
more on dance, the history of it, and all the
types of dance!
