Ballet helps strengthen your whole body and improves your awareness of it. You learn how to use your muscles and they become stronger too. You also become more flexible. Ballet also improves your rhythm and musicality. It may also help your confidence and self-esteem. It will also tone your body especially your abs. However, the more ballet you do the more you will feel these effects. For example, I do about 5 and 1/2 hours of dance a week, which is made up of two vocational classes (ballet) and two grade classes (ballet) as well as a modern dance class (about 45 minutes). I have found since I started doing this in September in a few months I have seen a huge change in my body, my legs are more muscular and my biceps are really toned as well as the fact that my abs are flat (! for me!)
