Ballet

When you get your pointe shoes depends on when your feet have matured enough. This does not usually happen before age twelve. Also, your muscles have to be strong enough to support you when your body is balancing just on your toes. The average age for getting pointe shoes is around 12.

the dancers in swansong use tap to indicate the guards questioning the victim allowing him to dace with them and this is used as his reply , him fighting back and now wanting to be pushed around by these guards.

In general no. Most professional ballet schools disapprove, but it is fine for daily classes, especially if it is a black (or whatever color your school requires) sports bra.

Write to the Kirov Ballet School in Russia. The Syllabus was invented there and is still taught there. --------- Agrippina Vaganova, the creator of the Vaganova (Russian) method, has a book; in the US it is called Basic Principles of Classical Ballet. In this book, she explains every single movement in detail which is exactly what the Vaganova method is known for - precision. There are pictures for everything. It is a wonderful resource, the best book on ballet technique, I think. You should also take a look at 100 Lessons in Classical Ballet: The Eight-Year Program of Leningrad's Vaganova Choreographic School. This will provide you with actual classes for each year, and there is a section in the back with music accompaniment notes.

There are five positions.

1st position---heels are touching and ideally your feet form a strait horizontal line.

2nd position---legs line up with feet and ideally your feet are straight out making a horizontal line (there's a gap between your feet).

3rd position---your right (or left) heel touches the bunyon part of your left (or right if the left leg is in front) foot (horizontally). It should make a triangle type shape.

4th position--- your right (or left) foot is in front of your left (or right if the left leg is in front) foot. There's a gap between your two legs, but the inner thighs are still touching. This one is the hardest to explain, but it's the vertical version of a second position (you feet still point out horizontally).

5th position---you right (or left) heel touches the top point of the left (or right if the left leg is in front) foot's big tow. It should look kind of like this < .

6th position---although rarely used in ballet, it is when your feet are pointing forward and touching eachother. Like this only they're touching .

The basic positions of the feet and arms for ballet are demostrated in the related links. Although they may be practiced this way, you don't have to perform them 'together' as shown. A step may require, for example, first position of the feet with fourth position of arms.

In ballet and in gymnastics it was required when i took them to wear a leotard.

The ballet shoes that professionals use are called pointe shoes. They are shoes made specially for the dancers to dance on their toes. They are hardened with layers of fabric and glue that the dancer has stability. Softer shoes are just ballet slippers and are often made of canvas.

She wears freed of London pointe shoes . I've heard there locked up in a glass case in the royal ballet meuseum but i am not sure on that !!!!!

To the best of my knowledge the answer is yes. My daughter's ballet teacher had a meeting with all the mothers and told us that she wanted all the girls to be fully shaved. She explained that she didn't want any panty lines showing. She also didn't want any hair showing under their light colored tights. She also said shaving was a time honored practice for ballet dancers. All the mothers understood the reasons and had no problem with the recommendation. My daughter said all her friends wanted wanted to shave whether they were dancers or not.

Listen, nobody was around stalking Maria Tallchief, and examining her eye color. But, there is a big clue to what color it probably is. See, she was born of Native American decent, and most Native Americans have brown eyes, (eye mean, you never see Native Americans with bright blue or green eyes, but I guess it isa possibility...) so she probably has brown eyes. This is a weird question though...

There are 8 ballet grades but there is also pointe work in grade 5 and up (although some start in grade 4), so if some one asks you, you could say that there are 8 or 12 because when you are in grade 5 up you have the poite work exams as well. The Pointe work levels are:

Intermediate Foundation

Intermediate

Advanced Foundation

Advanced 1

Advanced 2
