DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BALLET DANCER

[@nataliasheridan6941]

Literally when people think ballet dancers aren't athletes this video proves how hardworking ballet dancers really are.

[@TristanSimpson]

[@jesusisapisces]

Only dumb uncultured people think that.

[@SnorriSnibble]

Who tf thinks that? Every dancer is an athlete, it takes enormous body control and lots of muscles to be a professional dancer

[@lauragatehouse7935]

Ballet dancers are the most finely tuned athletic people around

[@nataliasheridan6941]

@@lauragatehouse7935 I am not a dancer, but I totally agree. Not many people say that, but I have just heard it before and it always confused me because dancers work so hard and put in so much time.

[@philipohmes9395]

Ballet only "Looks Easy" because of all of the hard work and practice one has to do to to give it that illusion. So the other night this past week I was watching an interview with...Twyla Tharp of the American Ballet Theater and the release of her new book. Quite the story, quite the professionalism of the Art of Ballet. So she recommends that people of any age, including those in their 80's take up this Art Form to stay healthy and not "rust out" from old age. Meaning you lose elasticity in your muscles. Always an inspiration to watch this channel as well as a few others about ballet.

I do ballet and I think the reason think that it is easy (or at least not hard) is because the key to performing ballet is to make it look easy so people think it is actually easy. So In that sense if people think it is easy you are doing well

Buying that mat now. Aldo look into dey needling. It’s similar to acupuncture but instead of energy, which I do believe is a thing, dry needling has scientific focuses. It stimulates the blood flow like you describe. I think both are great but this is actually medical.my.
