Why is ballet one of the most important dances to do?
This is the number questions asked amongst all parents whose children are just starting to dance.
Ballet was the first type of dance ever made. It is the basis of all types of dance. In one way or another, you will use a type of ballet move in your dance class.
Ballet dancers use a barre to stretch and warm up. This is the core of fundamentals for dance.
Ballet is a vital class for dance because of the following reasons:
Ballet also alows greater body awareness, breath, and control. Ballet also gives you great posture and it helps with back and bone problems when you get older.
Ballet is such a beautiful dance. It is graceful, and the classical music fits the dance. When you first start with ballet, you will fall in love with dance, and that will make you want to try other types of dancing.
Ballet also teaches you 5 basic foot positions that you will use in every other type of dance.
Also, ballet lets you challenge yourself, because it gets harder and harder each year and level you do it. It lets you challenge yourself in ways you did not even know you could be challenged.
Ballet is also good for your mind and helps you deal with stress related situations like any other exercise.
It is important for boys to do ballet as well as it for girls. Boys will benefit from the same reasons from ballet as girls will. We need more boy ballet dancers in this world for lifting purposes.
Ballet allows you to be light on your feet and it keeps you fit because it helps you burn a lot of calories. The more ballet you do, the more muscle you will gain and the more calories you will burn. Ballet gives you that full workout that you would go to the gym for.
Having a ballet background will make any other type of dance a lot more easier for you because you will have the basic fundamentals. You will enjoy the other types of dance because it will come easier for you because you've done ballet. I think everyone should try ballet because it is relaxing and even though it might seem hard at first, it is a lot of fun and will make dancing a whole lot easier.

a lot of people think ballet is all about tutus and pretty makeup. your blog makes it very clear that there is a lot more to it than that! reading your blog, i've discovered a whole new appreciation for dancers and the hard work they do. i wish i had stuck with those dance lessons i took in kindergarten!
ReplyDeleteMy 6-year-old takes ballet classes. This is her third year. Lately, she's been telling me she doesn't like class. Did you go through that when you were young? Could it be a stage? Or should I take heed?
ReplyDeleteIt is a stage we all go through she will get used to it and learn to love it
DeleteCas- yes a lot of people believe that ballet is just about the pretty tutus and makeup, but no one honestly understands how much work it is to actually be a balerina. It takes time and patiences. Even though you regret quitting in Kindergarten, it is NEVER too late to go back =)
ReplyDeleteProfessor alu- I think its honestly just a stage she's going through. When I was little, I did the same thing to my mom, and I quit for about 6 months and missed every bit of it. Then I went back and loved it and never wanted to leave.
ReplyDeletei personally think that ballet is mandatory for all dancers even if they may not like it. for me, even though i enjoy ballet very much, i sometimes find it stressful to remember the combinations and remembering your fingers, thumbs, arms, turn out, toes pointed, releve high.........
ReplyDeleteAnd i find it aggravating that little girls think that all you do in ballet is pointe. but the truth is that every ballerina starts with soft shoes. the young girls tell their mom that they want o do ballet because when they go watch the nutcracker , that is what they wanted to do. when they get to their first ballet class they are unhappy. the reason for this is that a ballet class for 6 year olds, is actually not really fun and interesting. it has nothing to do with what they saw when they watched the national ballerinas on pointe. But the moms have to encourage them saying that they have to do th easy stuff before the hard stuff
