Is ballet or jazz better?

Question

Is ballet or jazz better?
Just wondering is ballet a better form of muscle and strength training or is jazz or even another form of dance.

Answer

From my own experience both of them are great, especially if you can train in both techniques at the same time. brThe time in my life that I was dancing better is when I used to take ballet as a first class and jazz as a second one. Why? Because Ballet gives you the basis for control, but just alone can make you stiff, on the other hand jazz besides being good for resistance combinations are longer, makes the movements of your body smoother and more free, therefore through training in both techniques, you work not just all the muscles of your body, but also many more qualities that later can be applied for many kinds of neoclassical and modern dance.
