The movements? The learning process?
For those that are ballerina dancers, what were some of the most challenging things you faced? Thanks~

Or perhaps just dancing in general, whether it be hip hop or salsa. =)

I would say staying motivated. Sometimes class can get mundane and seem boring. My professors used to tell me to pretend I was performing no matter what so that I would always remember why I was there and keep myself motivated. It is important to remember why you dance, don't you agree? and sometimes that can be the most difficult thing about dancing...staying motivated even through the tough times.

The most difficult thing about ballet is the posture. it might sound easy but is really not.
I am a ballerina and I've been dancing ballet for 12 years. I also dance other styles of dance like contemporary, lyrical and jazz. The most challenging thing that I have faced were pirouettes. I practiced a lot every day 2 hours of pirouettes. And i know if you practice you could be perfect. In the beginning I could barely do 2 pirouettes but now I can do up to 5. I only have one thing too say. JUST PRACTICE EVERY DAY and Believe in yourself.

I think the most difficult thing about dancing ballet is,the movements because if you don't get them right then some people will use that against you.

My major problem in ballet is turn out. I can't really feel the difference between turning out and not turning out for some reason, so my ballet teacher has to help me a lot. It is especially hard when you start dancing faster and have to apply turnout to every step.

i say ballence and the movements (which, to me, goes hand in hand). being a ballerina, i would have to say that the most challenging things i've faced would be:breaking my toe during a ballet lesson (lol), learning new complex movements, and working on my arches (pointe...which i'm still working on, slowly but surley)

Ever see Dom Deluise with a tutu dance with Roseanne in the NUT Cracker?

The most difficult thing about ballet for me was trying to keep my posture tight. i would always forget and let my back arch but then my turn out would leave and my arms would bend to far back to compensate. you have to have train your body to keep its stomach up and under so that when you dance posture comes naturally and you can think about the different steps.

ballet is difficult b/c it takes years of training to acheive good body alignment, strength and flexibility....and then you must maintain it . not to mention learning the terms/positions/movements.. pointe is even more demanding on the body and feet and many dancers stop there.

Dance is all about Movements

In ballet i would say developing thick skin.
You take a lot of emotional knocks, and if you arent tough you will not make it.
We may look delicate but we are soooooo strong in mind as well as body.
WE HAVE TO BE
