Hello, I'm a 14 year-old male who's interested in jazz dancing, I have above-average flexiblity and good balance. What are the pros and cons of jazz dancing. Also do you have to wear tights coz I don't do tights lol. Thanks in advance.

Too many pros to count! lol. great way to get in and stay in shape, helps with focus (if your like other 14 year old boys, this would be good!), and its just fun! there are more pros, i just can't think of them right now. the cons are that you will probibly be hooked and never be able to stop (is that really a con?) and it takes your money. Try jazz and let us know how you like it! Hopefully you will fall in love with it!

Cool, I like Broadway kinda stuff and jazz looked cool. And it's commonly used in musicals and theatre so there's opportunity's to "become big". I'll give it a go :D

I mainly started jazz for musicals, but then fell in love w/ the dance it's self. In some studios they have musical theater classes. you might want to check that out. They sing (basic songs) while doing a combo.
