• Ballet requires extreme strength, flexibility, and precision, especially for pointe work and pirouettes.
• Argentine Tango calls for deep musical connection between partners and complex, improvised footwork.
• Contemporary blends ballet foundations with floor work, improvisation, and emotional storytelling.
• Hip hop and breaking require explosive power, isolations, and sharp rhythmic accuracy.
