<p>Hey everyone! I was just wondering, did anyone, when they went to Tufts, decide to try out a new dance form? Maybe an introduction class to ballet or jazz. I was thinking about it so I would appreciate any comments on the experience. Thank you!</p>
<p>They need to get a class on breakdancing or new jack swing or something. If it's not related to hip hop then it's a waste of everyone's time and money.</p>
<p>Ballet...LOL!!!!</p>
<p>Hey Scalz,</p>
<p>Ignore him. Anyway, I didn't take any intro dance classes but I have friends who have and have loved it. One actually ended up becoming a dance minor after loving her intro to ballet class. I watched an end-of-the-year presentationa nd was pretty impressed; and take note that I'm a 12-years-and-going-strong ballet dancer. (Just dance for fun now; when I was 15 I thought I'd be a professional ballerina; a foot injury ended that dream!)</p>
<p>P.S.: It just occurred to me that if you visit campus, you could probably arrange in advance to sit in on (perhaps even participate?) in a dance class.</p>
<p>Yeah I'm only kidding. I might F with ball room dancing, salsa or something if given the chance. I'd like to do that, yes. </p>
<p>But hip hop is the foundation and when I say hip hop I don't mean that ridiculous choreographed stuff you see when you go to high school basketball games. I'm not talking Jessica Alba in "Honey" hip hop. Please, get with the real kids.</p>
<p>Smif N Wessun!!!!!</p>
<p>ARE there hiphop, ballroom dancing, salsa dance classes? Can you take them even if you aren't a dance major/minor...? Do people usually do such things (I have no experience whatsoever in dance, and would really like to try if given the opportunity :) But I don't want to be surrounded by expert dance majors who have ten years of ballet or jazz experience, lol)</p>
<p>There is a ballroom dance team which is actually top-ranked, from what I understand. There is a salsa-dancing student club, too. I don't know if they're taught as classes though. I think the Dance Department website is your best bet.</p>
<p>That's the thing though "hiphop" as a style of dance has absolutely nothing to do with hiphop music. That's a perversion of the culture. I'm talking about stuff that actually eminated out of hip hop music. Breakdancing, funkdance, or</p>
<p>Tufts doesn't have a dance major, but there are lot of opportunities for dance. There are ballroom classes but unless you are on the team, they are pretty pricey. Everybody Dance Now! is a student organisation that offers all kinds of dance classes from Intro to Ballet to Hip-Hop.</p>
<p>But you can minor in dance!</p>
