Ballet is a beautiful yet complicated art. It is a rigorous, detailed dance form. In order to do ballet well, you have to hold in your core muscles and pull up your leg muscles. Pros make ballet look easy but it's actually very, very, very difficult. Pointe dancing (on your toes) hurts a lot at first but your feet develope strong muscles and calluses. Dancers may loose their toenails and have feet problems. But it's so worth it!
