Open Question: Does ballet really help?

well i'm a hip hop dancer and i just recently got a job student teaching one of the younger classes. instead of getting paid for it, they might just give me hip hop lessons for free. so i'm considering asking my parents if they'll use the money they used to spend on hip hop lessons for a ballet/jazz/tap combo-type class that, for all three together, costs a little bit more than the hip hop class i take now. so my question is, will ballet help my hip hop? i know it is the foundation of all dance and stuff but i'm wondering if it really will help me improve. so if any of you have experience with that, i'd love to hear about it. thx! also, will jazz or tap help too? just wondering. this is definitely something i want to do especially because i want to improve as a dancer overall so i think taking lessons in other styles will be helpful. thanks! (i'm 15 by the way if that makes a difference)
