Can I learn Ballet and Jazz at the same time?

I want to learn Ballet and Jazz, I have no experience in both.


Could I start both at the same time? If not how long should I wait, and which should I start first?|||If you are just starting you should take ballet for at least a year before starting jazz just to get a good foundation. When you start jazz, continue to take ballet to maintain strength and flexibility.|||aww thnx i got second best answer

|||Yes, you can. I recommend taking both! Jazz is really fun and ballet is too. Ballet will help you a lot in jazz with strength and flexibility. I took ballet and jazz as my first dance classes and only took them for a year so far and ended up getting asked to join an elite ballet class and got moved up 3 levels in jazz!! It's not hard to do them both at the same time, if you're a beginner you'll only be taking 2 classes a week. As you get into higher levels you'll have to take more classes for each type of dance, and if you're like me, you'll end up taking a lot more types of dance. I hope I helped, and I hope you go for both of them!!!! xD|||Of course I did when I was only 3 and If u do 1 at a time u may want to do jazz cause for a lot of people they find ballet boring and u may want to quit right away even though ballet is better for u jazz is soooo much more fun and a lot easier|||yes you can! my dance team has ballet and jazz classes every tuesday night and none of us have prior training in either. if you'd feel more comfortable only doing one class at a time, i'd start with ballet because it's basically the foundation for jazz.|||i think you should take both!!! thats what i do and its not hard at all because they are completely different and its easy to remember witch ones witch|||You can do that but it's very hard. I would do one at a time.

Why are the Rockets below them in the playoff standings even though they have the superior record?|||Different divisions.....The top teams in each division goes 1 through 4, then the last 4 goes by records.

Anyone know how to jazz up box mac and cheese??

I have a box of Pathmark shells and cheese that I want to make for lunch, being that I forgot to buy the Velveeta or any other cheese to make it from scratch. I want to jazz up the taste a little bit, with seasonings, I don't want to add ham, bacon, onion, etc, the texture is fine as it. Anyone have any suggestions??





Oh, I don't have any dry mustard or Worcestershire sauce.|||add 1/4 cup parmesan cheese for zesty flavor|||i hope you've got tabasco... mmm|||Paprika , a little nutmeg and some black pepper.|||My mom added worcestshire sauce, and a little hot sauce|||Alfredo sauce is really good with macaroni noodles. It has the same consistancy as cheese and tastes better, when you are in a pinch.|||tobasco or frank's red hot makes damn tasty|||Add some spicy sausage!!!!|||i throw in some greek seasonings and that gives it some flavor i think it is like garlic, pepper and some others the other thing i do along with that sometimes is add hot dogs to make it more filling so those are my suggestions|||you should probably go about baking it so that you can add regular block cheese but of course you would have to grate it or cut it into small squares and then add alittle pepper here and there and then bake it on 200 for about 30 minutes but before you start to bake the noodles you have to cook them of course and you just add your cheese and stuff abefore you put the dish in the oven|||Diced tomatoes|||I know that you don't want to do too much to it, but why don't you try the following, its very nice





Souffleed Macaroni Cheese


6 oz (175 g) macaroni


3 oz (75 g) mascarpone


2 oz (50 g) Gruy猫re, finely grated


2 oz (50 g) Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano), finely grated


1 oz (25 g) butter


1 medium onion (about 4 oz/110 g), peeled and finely chopped


1 oz (25 g) plain flour


10 fl oz (275 ml) milk


录 whole nutmeg, freshly grated


2 large egg yolks, lightly beaten and 2 large egg whites


salt and freshly milled black pepper


Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6, 400掳F (200掳C).





Begin by having all your ingredients weighed out and the cheeses grated. Fill a large saucepan with 4 pints (2.25 litres) of water containing a level dessertspoon of salt and put it on the heat to bring it up to the boil. Then, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over a gentle heat, add the onions and let them soften, without browning and uncovered, for 5 minutes. Then add the flour to the pan, stir it in to make a smooth paste, then gradually add the milk, a little at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon. Then switch to a balloon whisk and keep whisking so you have a smooth sauce. Then add some salt and freshly milled black pepper, as well as the nutmeg, and leave the sauce to cook gently for 5 minutes. After that, turn off the heat and whisk in the mascarpone and egg yolks, followed by the Gruy猫re and half the Parmesan.


Next place the baking dish in the oven to heat through, then drop the macaroni into the boiling water and, as soon as the water returns to a simmer, give it 4-6 minutes, until al dente (it's going to get a second cooking in the oven). When it has about 1 minute's cooking time left, whisk the egg whites to soft peaks. Drain the pasta in a colander, give it a quick shake to get rid of the water, then tip it back into the pan and stir in the cheese sauce, turning the pasta over in it so it is evenly coated. Then lightly fold in the egg whites, using a cutting and folding movement so as to retain as much air as possible.


Remove the warm dish from the oven, pour the pasta mixture into it, give it a gentle shake to even the top, then scatter the reserved Parmesan over and return the dish to the oven on a high shelf for 12 minutes or until the top is puffy and lightly browned|||I only make homemade but my husband use to make it before we were married. He throws in a can of tuna.





When I was younger and didn't make it homemade yet, I added cream cheese. Holycrap batman it made it sooooooooo much

You can also try using various hot sauces, not too much

How Could I Work for a radio Jazz station?

i want to work for a radio jazz station after high school, but i don't know what are the education requirements for me to become a jazz radio dj. do i go straight there and apply?|||Becoming a jazz DJ requires a strong vocal presence, a willingness to work unusual hours for low pay, and the flexibility to move from station to station or even from state to state. An entry-level radio DJ may also be responsible for a station's clerical work or commercial production, so a background in office management or electronics may also prove useful. A radio DJ's workday can range from a four hour shift on the air to a day-long remote broadcast from a distant location.





A number of colleges and universities offer broadcasting as a major, so a radio DJ candidate should enroll in a suitable program with a radio broadcasting component. Working as a campus radio DJ can provide real world experience, along with a more professional air check tape. Although a degree is not strictly required in order to break into the radio business, program directors often give hiring preference to degreed candidates. College programs can also provide technical training for a radio DJ assigned to work a board, radiospeak for operating a studio control panel.





Once a radio DJ candidate has a professional air check tape and a degree in hand, it's time to seek employment. The main person responsible for hiring new on-air talent is the station director. In smaller operations, this task may fall to the station's general manager or owner. In general, the station director usually has a generous supply of air check tapes and resumes from would-be disk jockeys, but smaller stations may advertise openings from time to time. The trick is to get the station director to listen to your air check tape personally and call you in for an interview.





A new radio DJ is often assigned to overnight or weekend shifts at first. While this may seem like a career setback, demonstrating a willingness to take on unpopular assignments can help you secure better shifts in the future. If you're fortunate enough to be hired by a popular radio station, expect to spend many hours in the studio cutting commercials, broadcasting sporting events and anchoring remotes. There is a significant amount of turnover in the radio business, as computers have taken over many routine aspects of the job and experienced radio personalities constantly move on to better paying markets.





Finding work as a radio DJ in smaller markets can be hit-or-miss. It is not unusual for freelance disk jockeys to move several times a year for work. As radio formats or station ownerships change, a radio DJ must learn to change as well or prepare to move on to another gig.





The average salary for a local radio DJ is rarely more than 1,500 dollars (USD) a month, usually paid out as an hourly wage. Only a small percentage of nationally recognized radio talents earn the top wages associated with the entertainment industry.
