Ballet

No, you can not. Even if you could, I would not reccomend it, since they need to be fitted. Ballet shoes, although they can be rather expensive, are important and require a good fit. If you know your size (in a ballet shoe) you can order them online. Like at discountdancesupply.com

Well one way or another they are, considering they don't really give your feet any benefit. When a dancer goes of pointe, an incredible amount of weight is put on the small surface of their toes, so inevitably they get a bit crushed. The damage for some is permanent but from what I've heard, not severe.

The word you are thinking of it 'jete' (pronounced JET-AY) there are all sorts of different kinds of jetes, including grand jete, which means to leap high and swiftly into the air and petit jete, which is a small split leap which is supposed to be adagio (soft and graceful)

The brunt of ballet terminology is French. When using Russian technique there are also additional terms in that language.

To make pointe shoes both the physical and chemical science is needed. The shoes have to fit and come in various sizes, this is where physical science comes into perspective.

Well, it takes a lot of practice. You need to have sturdy ankles and years of ballet training to dance en pointe. You probably think that dancing en pointe would kill your feet, and you're 100% right, if you don't break them in when you are dancing. But when you do break them in, you can go up very easily onto the tips of your toes. 50% of dancers wear toe pads and 50% don't. I don't know that the numbers are exact, but I do know that some people wear toe pads, and an equal amount of people do not. But anyways, toe pads are almost like little cushions that you place on the toe-area of your feet, and it pretty much blocks pain from standing on the actual tips of your toes. Other people put on other foot accessories, too, like toe seperaters, toe coverers, toe tape, and even paper towels. If you have never danced en pointe, let me warn you: The first year or so, you will get an incredible amount of blisters, but don't worry, it will probably slow down a bit (at least it did with me). Pointe shoes have no words to describe them; some people hate them, and some people love them. Let's just hope you love them!!(:

Foundation ballet is ballet for improving your balance, technique and strength. Lots of exercises are performed in order to tone your body and feet so that you can dance more fluidly and technically. It is great for strengthening your feet for pointe shoes, and it helps provide the foundation and develop the skills for all types of dancing.

There are many... moscow ballet, vaganova balet academy, perm, and more but I can't remember right now :p

Jazz is a very smooth but sharp dance where pointed toes, tricks, and coreography are joined together to make a thrilling masterpiece. For exsample ballet is a very slow and quiet dance but jazz is sharper and sometimes more upbeat.

Professional ballet dancers are required (among other tasks) to rehearse and perform ballets.

It originated in Italy, but in the 17th and 18th centuries the dominant centre of ballet was the French Royal Court, which is why most ballet terms are French.

If you are standing on one leg (with the other leg off the ground), that leg is called your supporting leg because it is supporting you.

During the reign of Petipa, composers were dictated by the choreographer as to what kind of music was required, tempi, duration, etc. No ifs and buts allowed.

Then learn to follow.

following is a skill, and following is more fun than leading anyway.

they have to train for many many years. have perfect balance, good turn out, and high pushed arches.

Obviously you can break your ankles if you go on to pointe too early :P

You can get blisters, bunions, your toes can break, you could rip a muscle.

Their are many, many different injuries , some mor common then others :)

You can also get bunionettes, plantar fasciitis, HUGE blisters, ingrown toenails, ripped-off toenails, and pretty much any horrific thing you can think of to happen to toenails.

maybe, just maybe, people have evolved

They were made by Marie Taglioni, the first ballerina to dance on her toes.

yes, and if you play games and move around a lot, until your feet get use to it you can get red rough patched on your feet, almost like a carpet burn but not as deep

In order to be a great linebacker, first you should make sure you know your stunts on each play. Like we you are suppose to blitz or when to cover the flats ect. Take the drills you do in practice and do them at home on your own. Hard work produces great results, so always give 100% in each practice and drill. hit harder

The splits is not an easy pose to achieve, but with a little bit of effort you'll have them in no time. Depending on your level of flexibility it can take from 3-8 weeks to learn. I know, I know it seems like so very long, but its totally worth it and the road to getting there is not at all intense. So go easy on yourself, and have a good time!

The steps to take:

Try having a light cardio for 4-5 minutes. Then go into light, easy stretches such as touching your toes (or going as close as you can) ten times while breathing deeply. Then separate your legs a little take a deep breath, touch the floor (or as close as you can get without ANY pain), then exhale. Repeat five times. Then sit on the floor with legs together and touch your toes once more doing the breathing technique aforementioned. Repeat five times. Then separate your legs and reach for you left leg, the the the floor in front of you then your other leg.

After warming up your legs, begin kneeling lunges. Go as far as you can, stop, take a deep breath and then slow flex and relax the muscle. Then do a reverse lunge (as performed in video I'll link you to). Then repeat your kneeling lunges. This should last around five minutes. Then put your back foot against a couch or chair (know as Lunge with back leg against a wall/box on the site I'm going to link you to). Repeat three times resting between each one. Now go into your split as far as you can without pain (you should just feel tension and/or slight pain or slight discomfort). Then pull up, relax for thirty seconds, stand up and shake your legs, and then repeat your lunges for around a minute, do your split and hold for thirty seconds once more. Then repeat everything with your other leg.

For side splits. You should do frog stretches butterflies, and then v-sit stretches mentioned in the warm-up. Then do side ways lunges and then push up, with hips square and knees pointed to the ceiling, against a wall. Then hold for one minute. Repeat this three times. Then go into a straddle split as you would normally and hold for thirty seconds.

Cool down. Just use the stretches from your warm-up but backwards slowly, and carefully. This transitions your body from exercising mode and reduces chance of injury.

P.S.: You may feel numbness during stretching which is GOOD it means your doing the exercises properly. Also, the next morning you may have slight soreness. This is because your body isn't used to stretch but eventually it will. If this happens don't stretch to intensely. But do stretch. Just do your warm-up and cool-down (the first paragraph is warm up, second is front splits, third is side splits, and fourth is cool down). If you continue to feel discomfort after exercising it means your doing it wrong, too fast/to hard for your body, or your warm-up/cool-down isn't long enough. Just relax for a day, and then start anew with a longer warm-up, less intense stretching, and a longer cool down.

Well real ballet technically started in the itailian renaissance in the 15th century courts. That's where Cocchetti style ballet comes from, Mr. Enricho conchetti. Ther's also the Vaganova method, Russain style, perhaps the best known. Or the English style, like the Royal Ballet Method or The French
