Ballet 芭蕾舞
Ballet serves as a backbone(主幹) for many other styles of dance, as many other dance genres(流派) are based on ballet. Ballet is based on techniques that have been developed over centuries. Ballet uses music and dance to tell stories. Ballet dancers have the ability to transport(運送) an audience to another world.
芭蕾舞一直是舞蹈界的舞林正宗，有幾百年的歷史，許多其他的舞蹈種類都發源於或借鑑了芭蕾。芭蕾擅長於用音樂和舞蹈講述故事，它的迷人魅力也恰恰在此：能夠引領觀眾穿越時空。
Jazz Dance 爵士舞

Jazz is a fun dance style that relies heavily on originality(獨創性) and improvisation(即興表演). Many jazz dancers mix different styles into their dancing, incorporating(v.融合 )their own expression. Jazz dancing often uses bold(大膽的), dramatic(誇張的) body movements. To excel in jazz, dancers need a strong background in ballet, as it encourages grace and balance.
爵士強調獨創和即興表演。爵士舞者擅長柔和其他舞種，並在舞蹈中加入自己的表達。大膽而扣人心弦的舞蹈動作，是一大特點。要想跳好爵士舞，需要芭蕾的基礎，培養好的體態和平衡。
Tap Dance 踢踏舞
Tap dancing is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps(踢踏片). Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns(韻律節奏 )and timely beats(節拍).
踢踏舞採用裝有踢踏片的特殊舞鞋，方便舞者舞蹈時伴隨鼓點節拍創造出獨一無二的震撼節奏。氣勢和節奏，讓踢踏舞擁有一份與眾不同的獨特魔力。
Hip-Hop Dance 嘻哈街舞
Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, which has evolved from the hip-hop culture. Improvisation(即興表演) and personal interpretation(n.詮釋) are essential to hip-hop dancing.
嘻哈舞一般伴著嘻哈音樂進行表演，也是嘻哈文化的有機組成部分。它看重即興表演和個人詮釋。
Modern Dance 現代舞
Modern dance is a dance style that rejects(摒棄) many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings. Modern dance was created as a rebellion(反叛) against classical ballet, emphasizing creativity in choreography(編舞) and performance.
現代舞擯棄了古典芭蕾的諸多嚴格規條，更加注重於內心情感的表現。作為經典芭蕾的反叛，現代舞強調編舞和表演的獨創性。
Swing Dance 搖擺舞
Swing dance is a lively(充滿活力的) dance style in which couples swing(搖擺), spin(旋轉)and jump together. Swing dancing is a general term that means dancing to swing music, or music that 「swings.」 How can you tell if a song swings? Swing dancers know when a song swings because when they hear it, they can’t stand still.
搖擺舞是一種充滿活力的雙人舞，二人伴著搖擺的音樂，一起搖擺、旋轉，跳躍。如何判斷搖擺舞樂曲？很簡單，如果你會搖擺舞，一聽到這樣的音樂，就會情不自禁搖擺起來。
Belly Dance 肚皮舞
Belly dance is a unique form of dance characterized by sharp(快速猛烈的), rolling movements of the hips and abdomen(腹部). The true origins of belly dancing are debated among enthusiasts(狂熱愛好者).
肚皮舞是一類十分獨特的舞蹈，標誌性的動作是臀部和腹部的快速劇烈轉動。這種古老舞蹈的起源仍是個謎，但卻不妨礙人們對它的喜愛。
Flamenco 弗拉曼柯舞
Flamenco dance is an expressive(具有表現力的) dance form that mixes percussive footwork(步法) with intricate(細緻複雜的) hand, arm and body movements. Flamenco is a Spanish art consisting of three forms: Cante, the song; Baile, the dance; and Guitarra, guitar playing.
弗拉曼柯舞極具表現力，強烈的叩擊步法、複雜精妙的手部、臂膀和肢體動作，使其具有強大的爆發力，熱情、熾烈。弗拉曼柯舞起源於西班牙，通常是即興表演。表演中，舞者配合當地特色的歌唱和吉他演奏，展現其曼妙的舞姿。
Latin Dance 拉丁舞
Latin dance is a fast-paced(快步調的), often sensual(性感的), partner dance characterized by sexy hip movements. However, hip movements are not intentional(刻意的) in any of the Latin dances. The hip motion is a natural consequence of changing weight from one foot to the other.
拉丁舞是一種快步調的性感雙人舞蹈。拉丁舞中有大量的臀部動作，然而這些動作並不是蓄意為之，而是雙腳之間重心轉換帶來的自然律動。拉丁舞又可分為恰恰舞(Cha-Cha)、森巴舞(Samba)、倫巴舞(Rumba)、牛仔舞(Jive)和鬥牛舞(Paso Doble)等。
Folk Dance 民族舞
Folk dance refers to a variety of dances developed by groups or communities, as opposed to(而不是) being made up by a choreographer(舞蹈家). There are several types of folk dance including Maypole dance(五月柱舞), Morris dance(莫裡斯舞), Nordic polska dance(北歐波斯卡舞), square dance(方塊舞), and many more. Folk dances are often performed at social events.
民族舞不是舞蹈家生造出來的，而是不同群體或族群代代相傳的。民族舞通常跟各類慶典、慶祝活動有關，社會性、社交性較強。
