Ballet

YES! ballet is extremely hard.People actually now consider it a sport cause it is harder than most sports like football basketball tennis hip hop tap acrobatic contortion etc.Most people think contortion is harder than ballet but we do contortion IN ballet! Type up people try to go on pointe shoes which is the shoes ballerinas have.They wont be able to go on pointe and if they try it hurts soooooooooo bad cause you are putting your toes on what ballerinas describe knifes and broken glass! Ouch 😓 Your toe nails fall off when dancing and your hip breaks and your toes and feet breaks it really hurts and we also train as hard as Olympic gymnasts!Type up misty copeland she has so much muscle from dancing! And try to do what she does in pictures just try then say if ballet is hard or not.LAST THING TYPE UP THE TRY GUYS TRY BALLET THEN REPLY TO ME . THANKS :)

Tschaikovsky Pas de Deux was created in 1960.

this is a really question to answer. yes, a lot of dancers do get a lot of pain in their feet when they do pointe work, and there are lots of photos of horrible looking feet belonging to ex dancers, but... this does not have to be the case!

most issues with pain are due to badly fitting shoes or weak feet, and it often happens when both are happening together! if you take the time to strengthen your feet well before you starting en pointe, and you get a shoe that fits your foot very well, you should have very little pain in the feet.

as dancers begin to do more and more hours en pointe, the chances of discomfort in the feet obviously increases but you, should be able to do several hours a week very comfortably. when you first start you will only do a few minutes at the end of each class.

if you are strong before starting pointe work, you avoid taking strain through the growth plates. most dancers have no issues at all with the growth of their feet, and the problems that occur (like stress fractures or ligament sprains) are usually because of bad techneique, or doing a step that is too hard for the dancer to control.

many dancers have long careers with no problems with their feet. so... the problem is not in doing the pointe work, it is how you do it!

In the 1800's through the early 1900's ballet has been a legacy. Going to famous ballets was like going to the movie theater today except much more luxurious. The beautiful music and hardworking, mesmorizing dancers could lull anyone into a dreamy trance. This was the "thing" at that age. It was like facebook. Everyone dreamed of going to ballets and seeing the perfomers. Unfortuneately our cutlure has now turned to dirty rap videos and pop sensations while ballet has faded. In particular studios (mine for example) we still carry this legacy because we're aware of the decline in the popularity of classical ballet. Our motive is to inspire and reteach the public of how Balanchine, Cecchetti, and so many other amazingly famous choreographers lulled our culture in to the era of elegant, classical ballet.

To start a ballet class you will need dance clothes(usually a leotard and tights but they differ with teachers) ballet shoes either leather satin or canvas(preferences differ with teacher as well) a dance bag to keep your things in and most importantly an open mind and willingness to learn!

The most common skirt that is associated with the ballet is a "tutu."

Yes, swans are smart.

No, they are separate entities and genres of Art. That's not to say that there might not have been a ballet dancer on the act in a Vaudeville show; there probably was.

Vaudeville was like a 'variety show': music, a comic, juggling, the dance troupe, etc...

All humans can become a dancer if they have the skill. But not all dancers can become a human.

Any body can do it; male or female; young or old! So give it a try! x its really fun masculine word

in french, the et ending means masculine

if it were ballette, it would be feminine

Age-wise, if you've been dancing since you were small, you can go en pointe when you are around 11 after at least 3-4 years of training. If you are older and take at least 2 classes a weak and develop very strong technique, you can go en pointe in as little as 2 years. However, you should always consult a teacher before doing so because they can properly evaluate your strength so that you don't injure yourself.

Yes, a performing art.

If you are referring to the shoes that allow ballet dancers to dance on their toes, these are called Pointe Shoes.

actually, it could be. it just depends. if you're just learning for the first time and you're like .. 15, you're going to be a little less educated (obviously) but what it depends on is if you've never cheered before then you try out for the freshman squad in highschool... chances are you're not going to make it. because you get certain points for like- how high your toe touches are and how well you tumble. and if you cant throw a good backhandspring, don't count on being on JV. at least that's how it is at our hs. now if you just joined a competitive cheer squad, for your town, that's different. although, you'd probably be very behind compared to the other cheerleaders you should be working with.

Well, you probably have just yomped 15 miles on Duke of Edinborough. It is going to get worse before it gets better, go back to bed. Bad fitting shoes. Cheap shoes will certainly bother your feet in time. Runners make your feet perspire and can make them burn as can patent leather shoes. Wearing nylons can make your feet slip inside shoes and make your feet hot. If your back is out this can also put out one leg and you sometimes will favor the good leg make you walk differently and causing pain. Use Epsom Salts in hot water and soak feet for 20 minutes to half an hour. because you loco

Definitly a chasse, and for the record pirouette means to turn...so it's not a type of turn. just sayin'.

Practice.

Fouette turns are done in one stationary position, and pique turns are usually done travelling. Also, in a fouette turn, the working leg does not ever touch the ground, whereas the working leg in a pique turn goes down to the floor between each turn. They are two completely different turns, but these are some basic differences. Also, fouettes are much more difficult, haha.

many people got together and invinted the swing dance in 1912
