Ballet

Ballerinas wear skirts, often referred to as tutus, primarily for aesthetic and practical reasons. The skirt enhances the visual lines of their movements, creating an elegant and graceful silhouette that highlights their technique. Additionally, tutus allow for freedom of movement while providing a layer of modesty, which is important in classical ballet. The design also helps to distinguish different styles and characters within performances.

Ballet I believe :)

You will know that you have strong ankles if you can go on your tippy-toes and balance without being shaky or wobbly, and/or can do it for a long time.

Depends how strong your feet are. If your feet are strong, then you would find it easier than people who have weak feet

Being en pointe requires a lot of hard work to get to that point as a dancer, for some it takes years to get to the strength and stamina to be able to go en pointe, for others it may take months. It really depends how dedicated you are and how much time you put in to build up your strength in your body! Also if you are considering going en pointe please remember its dangerous to go on if your not prepared, so please go over with a dance teacher ect, good luck and hope this helped you in some way:)

yes you can

in the 1920s

yes it is

Between 1871 and 1874

This depeneds on if you're talking about a proffessional ballet dancer and a training ballet dancer. Both wear nude pink tights and a leotard. Some dancers also wear skirts over their leotards. The only time a tutu is worn is during a ballet (like Swan Lake) or sometimes basic colored classical (or pancake) tutus are worn suring rehearsal and/or for dancers in ballet trainee programs Houston Ballet II and the San Francisco Ballet trainee program. Short leg warmers are sometimes worn/allowed during the colder months and are almost always only allowed during barre work. Dancers ALWAYS ALWAYS have small neat hair buns. Dancers wear soft pink ballet slippers, and advanced dancers and female proffessional dancers wear pointe shoes (shoes that support you when you are dancing on your toes.)

A proffessional ballet dancer is a member of a proffessional ballet company like the Pacific Northwest Ballet in Seattle, Washington. These dancers are extremley talented. Their mornings consist of the basic company class and then it's followed by ballet rehearsals. Proffessional dancers dance for about 7 hours a day 6 days a week.

A ballet dancer in training attends ballet class several hours a day to perfect his or her ballet technique so, that at age 17 or 18 they are ready to join a proffessional ballet company and pass the ballet company audition. This is extremley hard work and it never gets "easy". Female ballet dancers with very, very strong ballet technique, alignment, and balance who are at LEAST 12 years old do pointe work. In the summer ballet dancers training to become proffessionals attend ballet summer intensives like Boston Ballet's Summer Dance Inetnsive. Ballet dancers also perform in ballets like The Nutcracker and Giselle,and sometimes copete in BALLET competitions like Youth America Grand Prix, Jackson International Ballet Competition, and Prix de Lausanne. Dnacers on track for proffessional ballet career also attend a proffessional ballet school that is linked to a proffesional ballet company by age 15, however they've had many years with a pre-proffessional ballet school before that.

Extra extra small or large

Yes! :) pirouettes are actually a part of ballet not exactly jazz. Jazz has them in a sense of the basic term. Ballet pirouettes are a tad different because they are performed in "positions" such as second, fourth, and fifth. Hope this helped!

Dancing is extremely rigorous and puts great strain on the muscles. Stretching after dancing prevents stiffening and buildup of lactic acid.

Getting your splits is a matter of daily practice. They won't happen by themselves, but regular stretching and exercise will get you there. Google "how to do the splits" and see fitforafeast video by Katrina and Sloane on some great stretches for getting the splits. They did a second video also on their youtube channel, youtube.com/fitforafeast.

Good Luck!

There is not a certain way to do a pirouette differently without shoes on, but you do need to have a lot of calluses formed on the balls of your feet. You should keep shoes on with turns or you could tear the callus off, try looking up paws. They offer a little more protection than bare feet.

Hi! :)

It is a term that mean after you perform a turn such a pirouette or fouette. An example of a turn-out is a chaine turn!

prima ballerina assoluta

The sole/shank will be flexible and will be able to bend up to 45 degrees (or more each way).

{From experience: my inner sole completely broke in 2, I had to get another pair a short time after the previous pair; mainly because I tried to break into them with my hands rather than feet, I recommend you do not try this with pointe shoes in the future.}

Since you asked, award-wise, she's been voted Dancer of the year by readers of Dance and Dancers Magazine and won the Evening Standard Ballet Award. In 1991 Darcey Bussell received the Variety Club of Great Britain's Sir James Garreras Award for the most promising newcomer of 1990 and was a joint winner of the Cosmopolitan Achievement Award in the Performing Arts Category. And she also won the Prix de Lausanne in 1986 and spent the prize money on classes with the Monte Carlo Ballet where she attended classes with Rudolf Nureyev.

A combre is a term used in ballet. It is a backward extension from the lower back. In order to do it correctly, you pelvis must not move forward and your body has to remain square.

Hope this helps!
