Dance classes

I'm hoping to apply to drama school next year, and while I don't think I can turn myself into a triple threat over the next few months, I would at least like to take some dance classes to improve my basic fitness and movement, show willing, and get me started on a career path I hope will include many many more dance classes in the future. Assuming I'm not limited by location, cost, or timetable, what discipline would you recommend I go for? I was thinking ballet, modern, jazz, or tap, but which one would be more helpful? Or if they'd all be equally helpful, which is most fun?

All answers gratefully received. :)

Take ballet. Ballet is the basis for everything else, so it's the best place to start.

I was asking the same question in another thread. No one has answered yet but from what I have heard elsewhere, you should start with ballet and the move to jazz and/or tap

Guys or girls, everyone should defintiley focus on ballet to improve technique. I know some people LOVE ballet or absolutley cannot stand it, but either way, it really will help build technique for all other dance forms. I'd say jazz is the second best, and tap is obviously quite helpful, but not as much so as ballet and jazz.

I agree with what everyone's said about starting with ballet to build a foundation for everything else. I've found tap to be very helpful in theater as well, so I'd suggest taking a class or two if you can. Good luck :)

Ballet, followed by ballet and then a lot of ballet.

Ballet teaches you so much more than steps. It teaches discipline, reliability, body awareness and posture.

I coach adult swimming (!) and I am always giving them ballet pointers. They don't know its ballet, but it is.

Dance is how I got through phys. ed. in college. I wasn't even any good at all, but I learned so much.
