Tap-dancing - Tap-dancing is characterised by the use of plated tap shoes as an instrument to create clicking sounds against the dancefloor. Using their feet in tapping and slipping motions, tappers can create a variety of rhythms. In classic tap, dancers move their whole body with their feet in slow and stylised movements. Ballet - Ballet involves graceful, flowing and balanced movements. Often used to tell a story, ballet performances can contain a narrative, characters and a beginning and end. Plotless ballet, which has no storyline, focuses on utilising body movements, theatrical elements and music to express or provoke an emotion. Hip Hop - Hip-hop is an innovative street-style dance performed primarily to hip-hop music. Including a wide range of styles, including breaking, locking and popping, Hip Hop is recognised for having eye-catching steps that break conventions of classical dance.
