I agree with Janelle, here. Ballet is not just dancing around on your tippy toes...it is painful and a lot of hard work. I would explain but Janelle has a done a fair job at it.

ill tell you what ballet is becasue ive been doing it since i was 2 and im 15 now.. ballet is very diffuclt becasue you have to have the right technique such as pointed toes, flat back, great posture, poise, straight knees, so on and so fouth.. ballet does keep you fit espically when you get to the higher levels such as elemantary or intermediate foundation.. i am in elemanrty and there is alot of turns.. and devolpes.. which is a very hard things to to.. ballet is alot more than people thiink like its just not a tutu and shoes and you go out on your toes.. there is alot more... ballet is ggreat i love it..! but i would suggest taking a ballet course or introducory before trying it at a studio.. becasue it will be a good intro to the hard steps and new things you will learn.. a typical ballet class for me is a warm up at the bar which is piles toundues gissades and normally grand battement and devolpes then you move in to the center and do center practice which involes jumps (allegro) blancing excerises por de bra kicks and more devolpes and lotsa turns.. then you will do steps across the room to help you.. then normally there is a study, combo or a little dance that we will do and preform in small groups.. ballet is painful and alotta hard work.. go for it! try it see if all you do is dance around on our little tippy toes.. were actually dancing on blisters torn muscles inguries and pain.
i hoped this help you a bit..

Did you know that you can just take the ballet course just to keep fit? it's great exercises and helps stretches the kinks out of the muscles and tendon. My mother at age 45 recovered from breast cancer surgery by taking the ballet course just for the physiotherapy

You dance in plays, your movements are like a language. It's fancy play dancing. You need terrific flexibility and balance. Your legs would become powerful. But you also have to be very thin and good looking to perform on a grand stage.

You dance around on your toes. Yes I believe it would keep you fit.
