Well I am a dancer and have several guy friends who are dancers. he has tons of friends and is very social. I know a few guys(like a fellow dancer) make fun of him and call him gay. He isn't but that is kind of his personality. If you take dancing seriously alot of guys become very famous and are known around the world. If you are a girl or guy interested in dance you should really try it. It takes alot more strength then most people think. I can beat all the other boys and girls in my gym class in the number of pushups i can do.

A plie is a bending of the knees in ballet, or most any other style of dance. They can be petit(just a slight bend) or grande(large bend where you are nearly touching the floor), and in every foot position(1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th). A plie is done before and after every jump/leap in order to reduce the shock that goes down your legs and can cause injuries. A plie is the most basic skill in dancing.

Demi Pointe is a releve in flat shoes (Not Pointe Shoes). A releve is when you lift your heels and all that you are standing on is the balls of your feet and the bottoms of your toes. Hope that helps! :]

PILATES, PILATES, PILATES. Go to some Pilates Mat classes, and ask the instructor to assist you with regard to flexibility and strength training. It takes time so don't over do it.Pilates was developed on The New York City Ballet, so it is basically designed for dancers. Make sure your instructor is qualified and/or has a dance background.

You can also try Yoga for some great stretching and core strength excercises.

Performing developpes in succession will also help extension, but only if you make it a regular habit.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed the music for the Nutcracker Ballad. The Nutcracker is a Christmas tradition in a lot of homes.

The motto of Royal Ballet School is 'Strength and Grace'.

Ballet originated in France in the 1600's as a classical movement of the body made to entertain the King of the time. Originally, men danced on pointe as well as women but then it got too hard for men to dance in and everyone agreed it didn't suit a man's build. By the 1800's, ballet dances that are still performed today had been choreographed making ballet very popular and entertaining.

I'm a dancer myself, and I'll try my best to explain. As Brandon Harrell once said, "Dancers can dance their life story better than they will ever be able to tell it." Whenever I'm sad, I dance. It makes me feel like nothing matters. It makes me want to dance forever. I get this feeling, that I can't explain. It's like I'm flying, and I never want to come down again. It's a great thing, a beautiful thing.
