When i do ballet, its balances me. In Ice Skating, you have to have good balance to skate on ice. So yes, it does help.

I think ballet helps you with everything physical. It helps with your balance, it helps with finding your center, your arms, your musicality, pretty much everythign that has to do with ice skating except for the feet. It helps keep your body in shape and you work the right muscles to help you while your skating. You can work on your turns, and alot of other moves you use in ice skating as well.

Yes it's true. Ballet helps you find your center balance, which is one of the key things in ice skating.

Yes, ballet lessons can help you with ice skating and many other sports. It may sound funny but it has been found that many a good football player got his balance and coordination from ballet.

Ballet is the answer to everything athletic. From soccer to rock climbing to football. It helps with your balance which is needed in ice-skating.

Yes is DOES help you tremendously. When you really think about it, figure skating and ballet are very much alike. Similar moves. When doing ballet, you are learning the correct agility, balance, grace, flexibility, and strenght needed for skating. Do it, you'll thank yourself later.

It is true. Ballet helps you with your balance and dicipline on the ice. Ballet is all about control and poise and figure skating uses that.

It is very true! Ballet helps you with balance, grace, form, and dozens of other things, such as strength and overall fitness. In ice skating, you need all of those things, especially grace and balance. Hope this helps!

Yes is it true. Serious ice skaters are in fact required to take ballet. I was one of those when I was younger. Ballet teaches you movement, that's I think is the main reason. It also teaches you grace and builds strength at the same time.

It increases flexibility can help you learn various arm and leg positions that you will probably need to know. it increases muscle strength and endurance. Also it can help you learn rhythm and grace which is important in ice skating.
