    • Dance forever

    • Famous dancer

    Correct Answer
    A. So you think you can dance
    Explanation
    "So You Think You Can Dance" is an example of a dance TV show because it is a popular reality competition show where dancers from various genres compete for the title of America's Favorite Dancer. The show features a panel of judges who critique the performances and audiences vote for their favorite dancers. It showcases a wide range of dance styles and provides a platform for aspiring dancers to showcase their talent and passion for dance.

    Correct Answer

    In a chasse one foot steps on the other.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In a chasse, one foot does not step on the other. A chasse is a dance step where one foot quickly chases the other foot out of its position. The feet move in a crisscross pattern, but they do not physically step on each other. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

  • 5. 

    A tilt is a jump.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "a tilt is a jump" is false. A tilt and a jump are two different movements in dance. A tilt refers to a position where the dancer extends one leg out to the side while keeping the other leg on the ground, creating a diagonal line with the body. On the other hand, a jump involves propelling oneself off the ground using both feet and then landing back on the ground. Therefore, a tilt is not a jump.

    • Every dancer has the same jazz walk

    • Every dancer has a different jazz walk

    • Every dancer knows types of jazz walks

    Correct Answer
    A. Every dancer has a different jazz walk
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "every dancer has a different jazz walk" because jazz walks are a fundamental movement in jazz dance and allow for individual expression and style. Each dancer has their own unique way of executing jazz walks, which can vary in terms of technique, rhythm, and personal flair. Therefore, it is expected that every dancer will have a different jazz walk.

    A passe is indeed a ballet term that involves bending your knee. In this position, one leg is bent with the foot resting against the other leg, either at the ankle or the knee. This creates a graceful and aesthetically pleasing position for dancers. Therefore, the statement "A passe is to bend your knee" is correct.
