What kind of dance do you enjoy/recommend?

Okay, so I've danced jazz since a young age and took a few years of ballet when I was little, but I'm taking jazz again this year and I want to do something different. My friends who do ballet say it's really boring until you go on pointe so idk. I'd like to take modern, contemporary, or lyrical but I'm not sure which one to take because they're kind of similar and also my sister takes lyrical and hates it. At my dance school they offer jazz, hiphop, ballet, pointe, tap, lyrical, contemporary, modern, and musical theater. What types of dance to you take or find interesting that I might want to look into?? Thanks!!

Could "She's Like Texas" By Josh Abbott Band be a good song for an uncle and niece to dance to at a sweet 16?

Got a dilemma and need your help...?

Ok, so at the beginning of the month I switched dance schools. Now on Tues, I found out that the recital theme is "Fears & Fantasies". This is the first year of this adult jazz class and there are 4 of us so far. The other ladies called me "a ringer" in the first class and told the teacher assume we know nothing and she knows everything...back on topic-- The teacher wants to talk to us about what our fears and fantasies are so we can incorporate them into the dance, but my problem is I can't think of anything....the only fears that I can think of are losing a loved one way too soon and heights and I can't think of a single fantasy. I used to dream about being a choreographer, but after a couple of moves I suggested made their way into dances we performed on stage and the 2 dances I created (the ballet is ALMOST DONE!!!) I have lived my dream...do you ladies and gents have suggestions for me to throw out there?

Are there any tips and tricks to learn ballroom dances fast?

Here the situation. My best friend is getting married in a month and 20 days from now and I've been nominated best man. I don't know how to ballroom dance and I want to learn. And learn fast at that, so as to not make an *** of myself at my mate's wedding. Trouble is even though I've signed up for private lessons, they're really expensive and I can't afford note than 6-8 lessons. And these lessons are only 50 mins each. I'm getting anxious and stressed that I won't pick up how to jive, foxtrot, waltz etc quick enough by the time the wedding comes around. I say this because I don't want to know just enough to barely make it in the dances. I want to be able to dance well enough and not look awkward. Add to that my other mates back in India are learning the same from a female friend. They practice every Saturday - Sunday for what I think is at least a few hours. So they will pick up much faster than I will. And that's stressing me out. I don't want to be left in the dust. Circumstances seem to be working against me because I'm not able to practice as much as them due to my job chewing up long hours. And add to that suck salad the room I live in is barely big enough to move comfortably, let alone dance. All this is making me lose my ****. Could you guys please help? Any tips and tricks to learn how to dance a bit quicker would be helpful. I'm already trying my best to practice as much as I can.

Well, your description is actually incorrect. That is not a proper hand position in classical ballet. That being said,I think you may be looking for the terms Arrondi (rounded) and Allonge' (elongated) as they are the French terms used in classical ballet when talking about hands. Then you have Balanchine hands which are entirely different but that is neoclassical not classical ballet.
