what is the point of ballet?

Question

to make you skinny? better posture?

Answer 1

It's a form of dance, people like to watch it etc.

Answer 2

the 'pointe' *hehe* of ballet is expression. i'm 13 and i've been in ballet training sense i was 5 and i've come across that qustions time to time. it all boils down to the art and the expression of your inner soul.
you don't have to be skinny to do ballet (you do to be en pointe but that's another thing) but it is better if your not over weight and for posture...well...it does take good posture but there are other ways to work on better posture.

Answer 3

Well, ballet is a form of art in that it tells a story and conveys emotions. The study of ballet not only teaches physical strength and flexibility but also lyricism and discipline. It instills an in depth understanding of music as well though most dancers are very musical to start with. Ballet training takes many long, dedicated years and in my own experience the pain, broken-off toenails, bunions, etc. was never a factor to stop dancing. My passion for ballet far outweighed any physical discomforts and there were ALOT. Happy Holidays!!

Answer 4

There are many points of ballet it depends what you want the point to be. I do ballet because its fun and i want to become a prima ballerina. but others do ballet for posture, flexibility, or i guess you could say to make you skinny. many young children also do it because its just something that young girls do. but i think the main point of ballet same as any style of dance is to have fun and enjoy doing it and to enjoy others with your movement. with ballet your movements of grace and amazing turns and how high you lift your leg.

Answer 5

ballet does give u better pressure but u don't take it 2 make u skinny, thats just what happens when u practice and r in front of dance mirror everyday! ballet is a sport, so u could say "what is the point of playing (any sport)?" i mean there isn't a specific "point" to its for some people its a hobby, a passion, a carrer, or just something to do in their spare time. ballet gives you self-dicipline and strength. it builds character on you, and in my opinion is one of the, if not the most, wonderful dance forms ever perfomed and created

Answer 6

Well ballet is a form of excercise and it does produce great posture. Aside from that, it is an art form that is beautiful to watch and for dancers it is a foundation that will build technique for dancers until they go into other forms of dance.

Answer 7

Ballet is the basic foundation of all dance.

It teaches grace, posture, flexibility, extension, projection, performance, emotion, expression, etc. It's great training for any future involvement in dance.

Answer 8

It's for the people who actually respect it and love to do it, like me. It's not to make you skinny, better posture, or make you a better person, its for the art and passion of the dancer.

Answer 9

Increases flexibility. Creates better posture. A good foundation of dance (makes other forms of dancing easier).

Answer 10

I am a dancer and I think of it as a way to express your motion and feeling......It does sometimes get you skinny but thats not the point....it does give you good posture.....you get very flexible....you can understand your body better.....gives you confidence....It's a good way to socialize and you can also learn alot of good information about people and life lessons...its nice to watch.....its nice to show your stuff on stage.....so many reasons.....

Answer 11
