The flexibility that comes with practicing ballet will help reduce injury on the football field.

FaithMidnight so true!

[@collectorofcats294]

Very true... there are actually some football programs that require their participants to take ballet classes to prevent injuries and to increase agility, flexibility and range of motion...

oooh how does it help in reducing injuries? im very interested to know hehe

@@gabbycuvin2508 helps with soreness from all the stretching done, works out your legs, improves flexibility and balance. doing ballet helps prevent injuries on the field and can help gain speed because they're doing greater strides when sprinting

[@coltsanimelover]

Just gotta say bravo to these football coaches that made this a requirement for their high school team! Ballet can be very beneficial to football players in strengthening the ankles and feet and save their knees when they jump. It's been shown that it prevents injury and I'm so glad these boys understand how hard it is!

[@oliviamcnamara6881]

coltsanimelover THANK YOUUUU!!!! You seem to be the only that understands that ballet helps football players with strength, balance and causes less injuries. My dads a Texas high school football coach and he makes his players take an hour of ballet a week during football season

[@violetblossom50]

Bubble Mutt I thought dance routines only lasted like 2 minutes. Anyways, I think our coach wants to put us in the hip hop type classes they do in those dance videos from LA. She's very big on fitness so I think hip hop would work for us better. It's also MUCH cooler than ballet. I watched one with Bailey Sok and I was so amazed at how someone so young could move so quickly and precisely.

As a dancer I am still cringing as the fact that some of these ballet dancers still don’t have that great of technique. But anyways A+ for effort to the boys and being mature about it Edit: so I’m getting a lot of hate for the “don’t have great technique” part of this comment. Yes, I know that this could come off rude to some, and yes I know that these are just students. But you must understand as a dancer, you must #1, learn how to take criticism, #2, learn how to use it to thrive. I understand some of these girls have only been doing it for 6 months, but I have been doing it for 7 years and I still remember that the first thing I learned was technique. Turn out the foot, extend the legs, point the foot, hold the arms steady in second, the basic positions of ballet, pull under the butt and keep it all a line. Now this isn’t hate towards them, just that they need to improve. This comment was simply left to state that their technique was not as good as it could be. So please don’t take it the wrong way, thanks. Edit 2: dang thanks for 755 likes! That’s crazy edit 3: so yet again, i’m coming back to this comment more than a year later to “change” some things i said, or more as improve upon my statement. first, wow some people are rude. so my comment was meant strictly for constructive criticism purposes, because i know if i was in their shoes i’d want it, and people turned that into complete hate. i get that some people are beginners, that’s great! everyone starts somewhere, but you also have to know basics to start in that place. i was notified of multiple comments under this one that were reported by other people that i just tried my best to ignore (thank you to those who reported them), who were just being plain out hateful calling me things like “hypocritical” and that i was “ignorant and a disgrace to the dancing community”. i wish that our community wasn’t so toxic and mean to people who just want to give others a bit of criticism. i do admit that my wording at the time of “cringing” was improper, and i’m hoping to fix that here. however you’ll notice i don’t change it, because i want people to see the change to hopefully understand where i was coming from. criticism can help, and this is a perfect example of where it did. hope this clears some things up

Well i don't think they were pro they are students so obviously they're gonna improv, who know maybe it's their first year of ballet

Personally as a dancer, dance takes so much more than the flexiblity and the body. A driven person can become a master, it may take weeks, months, and even years, but in the end its worth it. You can see the progress which opens more doors towards opportunities that will further your learning as a dancer. Dance requires hours of training, ice packets, sweat, a drive, etc. Glad to see that the dance community is growing!

asianavocadoes I’m 13 and I take dance three times a week and I swear to you that that is the most annoying thing t see someone do. My teacher calls them chicken arms tee hee

[@jennacampbell7759]

My teacher HATES that! xD I wanted to just grab the girl's arms and stretch em out a bit. :P

[@anjahjelle9379]

Ikr, I'm a dancer specifically ballet I take ballet 6 days a week for 2 and a half hours. My teacher always flips out when an arm is floppy. So seeing that this teacher didn't care to correct them bothers me. If I taught this I would be correcting my dancers not the football players as much, they learn how to do something by watching my dancers so if I correct them they would apply the corrections.

[@jennacampbell7759]

@@anjahjelle9379 i agree

[@Landrobje]

This made me smile a lot, they actually did pretty good. And for everyone commenting on the dancers technique; you don't know how long they've been doing ballet. Also not every dancer dances for competitions, for high rankings etc. I personally dance just for the fun of it. I've been doing that for 11 years, and there's always something that's lacking, technique that could be better and don't even get me started on my flexibility (I'm not that much better than these footballers lmao)

[@Noah-vk6kg]

As a 14-year-old male ballet dancer, I can say truly from the deepest part of my heart.. this is the saddest thing my eyes have ever come upon

[@aLeBlanc1914]

Very fun to watch the guys come out of their elment to try something new. Great job

[@SG-nz2wi]

I'm enjoying this way too much 😂

[@caitlinau8763]

read all the comments and it's icing on the cake to this video

[@emilyfoot5704]

Ngl even some of the ballet dancers didn’t look that great. A lot better than the footballers but still.

[@LuckyisSara]

Well some of the levels between the dancers were 6 months to 10 years of experience

[@scrubbingbubbies]

I was thinking the same thing. The two girls on the right were not turned out and looked as if they didn’t know what to do with their arms

[@quopquop1506]

Emily Foot their beginners, not pros so I think it’s fine

[@karyl505]

Some of those football players really got great height and turns in their across floor jumps! Good job for hanging in there and having an end result of respect! This was awesome to watch!

[@addiatmeikokusuma8058]

I really like the guy who stand just behind the male ballet teacher. He is taking this seriously and even his first position is good

[@archcm8667]

I'm that guy in the very front. The only guy who was able to do the splits

[@serendipit_y]

frednel creer I think he's a ballet dancer not a football player

[@kittenbro1383]

frednel creer Same I'm a male dancer and I have all my splits

[@archcm8667]

I wish I have all my splits. Middle is a bit a hard, both front splits for me are like an inch or two away from the floor (crotch to floor)

[@kittenbro1383]

frednel creer yah it's really hard to get your splits and it takes a long time. I recently got my middle

[@archcm8667]

serendipity well yeah it's obvious. I didn't claim that he wasn't.

[@lojainnasr3574]

If only the dancers showcased were more advanced. That would have really showed the difference. Most seemed equally as inexperienced as the FB players... Maybe just the nerves.

[@lojainnasr3574]

Plopping into splits during ballet also seems informal.. Possibly just to mess with the poor guys XD.

[@jolienvsndijk]

N/A N/A Well one of the dancer had only started six months ago so obviously they won't be very good yet. And though the pro vs amateur thing can be hilarious this shows those boys that ballet is something you can learn if you work hard. Being compared to pros would not do that.

[@lojainnasr3574]

Yeah I know but it would cool if they were better. I doubt any of those boys were there to realize their ballet dreams. And like you said ballet is something you can learn if you work hard. Meaning advanced dancers have worked hard and showed them that ballet is graceful and beautiful. Those were aspects not displayed from the beginning dancers. Plus the description also said some of those dancers have been dancing over 10 years. So don't pay too close attention to the 6 months aspect. Thanks for the response! :)

[@yukiandkanamekuran]

N/A N/A they look like they're in middle school/Junior high so idk

[@calciumpill]

Yeah but they are high schoolers not professional ballerinas

[@racheleparks22]

0:38 teacher: SPLITS some guy: YEAH BRING IT

[@joannapardew1494]

I most definitely watched this 3 years ago and had forgotten about it. I’d like to thank the KZbin algorithm for bringing it back around.

[@krystalk5339]

I love this :) There is no reason to look down on any of your schools' competitive teams. They each put a lot of hard work, sweat, and (maybe) tears into their passion. 😍

[@anniesbananies227]

I love how the teacher yelled “SPLITS” and the one dude in the corner just sits on the floor😂this video is so funny and just shows much of a sport dancing is👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@judithbellantoni7659]

annieZzz you mean how much of an art it is

[@anniesbananies227]

Judith Bellantoni yes but it’s also a sport

[@madisong3801]

Has anyone here done 10+ years of ballet, so I know I'm not alone?

[@oliviamcnamara6881]

Madison Gorthy MEE!!! This past year was 12th and now I'll be going on to my 13th this august☺️

[@kelseycook]

[@nenadiaries]

this is the glee episode we've been waiting for

[@katiecox4674]

As a dancer, I was impressed by a few boys that weren't dancers

[@bridgitte247]

Omg this looks like so much fun!!!!! We need to do it to the high school nearby!!

[@anishadelarber]

As a dancer of 14 years I honestly find this really funny and I’m thankful that these boys are fully aware that dance is indeed a sport

[@rita6276]

This is a great video, it was a joy to watch. Im 100% certain the guys would catch on really well with more classes!

[@shaejustice1117]

“DaNcInG ISnT A SpoRT!!!” “iTs EaSy I DO iT aLl ThE TimE!!” *Literally can’t even do a grandé jetáe*

[@Тугчек]

That "I'm dying" tho lol

[@anniewhalen7934]

It was all looking somewhat ok until that split😂

[@dhanya5367]

The guys were chill,if boys from my school were told to do this they would just be laughing at the girls even tho they didnt know how to do it.

[@samaeldeul572]

"What's a new word besides... what you learned today?" "The split." 😂😂😂😂
