What is a split in ballet?

A ballet split can be two different things.

There's the right/left leg splits, which is where one has one leg in front of them, the other behind them, and is sitting on the floor with their legs at a 180 degree angle. (try looking up 'the splits' to really get it.)

The second one is the middle or 'Chinese' splits. In this, the dancer has their legs extend from their body much in the way that you hold your arms at right angles to your body. Dancers will often stretch with their bottoms on the floor and their their legs parallel to a wall and try to get the entire lengths of the legs up against the wall to stretch.

I hope this helps!

What is the difference between ballet and tap?

Well ballet is danced to slow music. It also has to be precise and accurate. Tap can be performed to slow or fast music. When you Tap dance you have to wear special tap shoes. These have a piece of metal on the bottom of the shoe called a tap, this is situated on the toe end of the shoe. When you move higher up the grades the will get a pair of shoes which have a tap on the bottom at the heel end of the shoe. When you dance this special shoe makes a tap sound. Put steps together and this makes a whole load of sounds which it made right can sound great and almost like a song.

So that is the difference between Tap and Ballet.
