Dance comes in many different ways. Dance is a way of living, to make money. People can really dance anywhere. The different moves are are really easy once you take it slow. But it can be confusing at the start. Hip-Hop is a way of moving but harder moves, and really sharp moves. That is the opposite with lyrical/contemporary. Lyrical is just more about technique and slower moves. Acrobatic dance is basically a mix of both. It has so much technique, but also has so many tricks. Similarities in dance are technique. Pointed feet. Never have sickled feet or else you will fall out of your turns. Differences in dance are that tricks may be included. Cartwheels,arials,backtucks.Some dances may have both tricks and technique. That makes a perfect dance.
