Importance of Ballet

People in dance always say they "hate" Ballet. They say it is boring and slow and they just don't like it. What people don't understand is that Ballet is everything to become a dancer. You need to have Ballet technique to be able to do the other types of dances you like to do and it creates a strong foundation for them. According to doctors, it strengthens bodies and can also correct posture if practiced correctly. Ballet is a very difficult style of dance and usually isn't taken very seriously by younger dancers. Ballet is also used for other sports to strengthen your body such as, gymnastics, skating and even football. Many guys take ballet because it helps with their balance, speed, agility and it keeps them fit and helps them with their other sports.

Another reason ballet is very important is because if you want to become a better dancer you have to practice ballet. The more you practice that style of dance other types will come easy to you as well. It will also help with your flexibility which is everything for a dancer, it will decrease you chances of injuries. It is also proven to show more confidence in yourself and you will feel better after a class.

Dance is a mindset. If you say you can't do it then you wont. You will be able to do everything you set your mind to. If you really want to do something you can, you just need practice and some help from an instructor. "Practice makes perfect" is so cliche but very true.

If you want to go into dance as a career, the instructors are going to look at your ballet technique the most out of everything.
