In my mind a professional ballerina went to ballet classes for seven years, age is best at 10-12 yrs. This person MUST go to class EVERY day! So for seven years every day for 2-3 hours you should be a professional ballerina

Yes, you can. However you will need to sew on some ribbons or different elastic to hold them in place or the shoes will fall off while you are dancing!

Why not both!? Dance will help you with gymnastics, and gymnastics will help you with dance! Gymnastics is more of a mental sport, and if you decide to quit once you move up levels and it gets too hard, you can always do dance! Trust me, if you want to do gymnastics, at the minimum take a few ballet classes. They will help you gain flexibility, pointed toes and straight knees as well as your artistry in gymnastics. If you have enough money, I advise you to take dance and gymnastics.

Some examples of well known classical ballets are The Nutcracker, Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty and Romeo and Juliet.

Ballet is a formalized kind of performance dance, which originated in the Italian Renaissance courts of the 15th century, and which was further developed in France and Russia as a concert dance form. The early portions preceded the invention of the proscenium stage and were presented in large chambers with most of the audience seated on tiers or galleries on three sides of the dance floor. It has since become a highly technical form of dance with its own vocabulary. It is primarily performed with the accompaniment of classical music and has been influential as a form of dance globally. Ballet has been taught in ballet schools around the world, which use their own cultures and societies to inform the art. Ballet dance works are choreographed and performed by trained artists, include mime and acting, and are set to music (usually orchestral but occasionally vocal). It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational techniques for many other dance forms. This genre of dance is very hard to master and requires much practice. It is best known in the form of Late Romantic Ballet or Ballet Blanc, which preoccupies itself with the female dancer to the exclusion of almost all else, focusing on pointe work, flowing, precise acrobatic movements, and often presenting the dancers in the conventional short white French tutu.

Ballet is a large part of the history of dancing. Ballet sets out to tell stories through movement by following strict, classical rules that were established around 1661 in France. Ballet honors grace, stories, histories, movement and self-discipline of the dancer.

I'm assuming your referring to classical tutus which are the ones that stick out. One reason is so the audience can see the dancers legs. And two, I think it makes partnering easier, so when the guy lifts the girl there's not a bunch of tool and fabric in the way. Romantic tutus, which are the ones that look more like dresses are more old fashion. Hence, Romantic ballet-romantic tutu; Classical ballet-Classical tutu.

Modern ballet focuses on natural movement and traditional ballet has more stricter rules. For example, if a traditional ballet dancer is just standing on stage, their legs have to be turned out and in first position. But if it were a modern ballet dancer, their legs would not be turned out and they would be in parallel position.

Yes boys should do ballet, in fact in some dance schools boys are rare given a 50% scholarship for the whole year on end. Ballet helps girls and boys get stronger muscles and balance. Also girls need partners to lift and do pa de duex with them, So Ballet is very important and does involve a lot of mucle and strenght that why boys choose to do ballet.

Not all ballet is smooth and flowy as it looks. Modern ballet can be more contemporary or jazz-like, with different hands or positions than traditional classical ballet. Lyrical ballet is smooth and flowy, so you can get away with less technique.

Personally i am a dancer and i do, do pointe when standing on the amount of pressure that you excert depends on how many years you have been training i am 12 and on one toe the pressure is not that big because you have the toe padding which takes most of the pain away so the pressure really isn't that great.

classical Ballet. Rose adagio. Tremendous balance. Dying in obscurity in Panama after wasting effort on Tito! True to her promise.

The bourree is a step done en pointe, where the dancer takes quick and tiny steps without bending their knees much. They can move across the floor in this way, or do it on the spot.
