I took ballet because of the beauty it allowed me to feel . When I danced it was if I was in a magical place belonging to just me. And I knew one day there would be a prince come along and join me. Ballet is one of the few ways females can interpret sexuality, as beauty and love. Thank you for keeping this art open for younger girls.

I have been taking dance since I was 3. Tap then, jazz at 6 and ballet at 9. When I was younger I hated ballet with a passion...Now it is the opposite. I love ballet! Without that stable center (ballet) I would never have been able to accomplish all that I have in Dance so far. I am dancing and teaching . I was trained in ballet under the direction of Guiseppe Canale at www.neadancemi.com and took there for several years before I went to study in NYC and Chicago. I love ballet because it gives me discipline, strength, technique, grace, style and no matter what, there is always something left to achieve. Taking ballet allows you to jump into any dance class with confidence. And come on, how could we not like how toned it makes our bodies!!?! I now am involved with ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, lyrical, tap, character, african, and some acro and teach children from 2 1/2 to 18....I would like to one day open my own dance studio after my career is over with...until then, i'll keep dancin!!!

I took ballet for 3 years and I absolutely loved it! When I see it on tv I've gotta watch it b/c its so pretty. I miss it though. Ballet is the foundation of every type of dance out there...you really do use those positions in any other type of dance...especially Modern..I took that the fall of last year and I did see that a lot of the positions we did was just like ballet

I took ballet because I wanted to be as beautiful and graceful as the dancers I would see on TV (PBS). I was fascinated by what they could do with their bodies. I wanted to do that too! I loved it because it made me feel like I could do things most other people couldn't and because I thought it made me look beautiful.
I was a teenager then. I ultimately stopped because adulthood brought the realization that I was short and stalky and I looked nothing like the dancers I aspired to be. I would never look like them no matter how much I starved myself or how hard I worked at my dance. I simply did not have the body for ballet. But the years of study left me with a great appreciation for dancers and their discipline and artistry-and also a little insight to the obsessive nature of most dancers.

I have taken ballet since I was 3 years old. I love ballet because it helps you with many other types of dance. It really disciplines you and I simply love the beauty of ballet. Ballet has to be my favorite type of dance by far.

I do not take ballet classes, but my friend comes over and teaches me Ballet, I abouslty love it. I would take classes but I am too busy being a cheerleader, and a dancer for hip hop, and a gymnast and also a model. I feel so gracefull as a ballerina, I feel so light, and so pretty while I am doing my turns. I really want to invest in a pair of ballet shoes. My dream as a little kid was to be a ballerina, but my mom crashed and burn my dreams when she said I was too fat, and by the way, I am not fat.

First of all, I think ballet is so beautiful. Of all the other types of dance I have taken, it is my favorite. Also, it takes a lot of work and I love the gruel of training and working to become the best. It is also very fun and a great way to express yourself through dance. It is also very elegant but can also be jazzed up and experimented with.

I enjoy ballet because it is good disepline. It helps keep my school work in order and my mind on a straight path. Ballet is like free expression of the soul and I like how you can almost do anything with the body to do ballet. It includes the entire body incorrperated in one insrtument. I like to call it a calm sport and a dancer is just like a football player only more poetic and free spirtited.

It relies upon on even if you could channel your power into specializing in a unmarried component. Ballet is amazingly managed and calls for assorted concentration. novices can do a touch turns and leaps, reckoning on the instructor. i recommend you try it, i began ballet at 14 and now at 15 i love it.

I love ballet because I like the movement. I love the accomplishment of finishing a class and I know that each class I take is a step closer to my dream of being a great dancer.
