The Extreme Workout Regimen Of A Professional Ballerina

[@iamonlyming3390]

Ballerinas, gymnasts, synchronized swimmers, pole dancers, etc. are some of the MOST impressive, hardworking and strongest athletes out there.

Basically everyone that works hard and are passionate about what they do

[@mariavitalina4943]

Something I find interesting that not many talk about is the silence of their movements. When a ballerina jumps in to the air there will definitely be some noise from the hard bottom in their shoes, but when they generally move around there is almost no sound. That silence is, what I believe, to be a big reason why it feels like they're flying around on stage. It is truly fascinating and definitely deserves more credit.

[@Redorgreenful]

Maria Vitalina Beautiful

[@racheldeckert4362]

They do things to the shoes to prevent them from being really loud when dancing. Ballerinas are definitely light on their feet and that is beautiful. But it mostly has to do with they make sure they’re shoes are quiet

[@tokofukawa6056]

Rachel Deckert not really, as a ballet dancer, usually pointe shoes just make every movement 10 times louder, so you have to put in more effort not to make noise

[@misaamane8732]

So if you want to do ballet again you can check if there's any in your area

I've tried plain gym and other forms of exercise but always return ballet and similar exercises are the best. They make the body feel so good, so powerful and free, when you have such flexibility, strength, balance, tamina, grace, agility, speed etc. One does not have to be a star or some great balletic beauty or even have the ideal body type to enjoy the benefits. Just do it. Even if you cannot do much, it will still benefit you if you do what you can and try to push the barrier a little further each time. But, it is crucial to do the exercises correctly, to avoid injuries and harm to your body. You need right technique. Not just trying to perform impressive physical feats. And, obviously, just swanni g around looking pretty in a tutu but not straining or exhausting yourself or getting all hot and sweaty will not deliver any fitness benefits. You really do have to work hard, which might include getting down onto a dirty hard floor to perform floor based exercises, which may be hard eg splits etc but are generally pretty safer and healthy.

BALLET IS A SPORT! I got into ballet when I was 6 years old and did it until I was 12. I was part of a strict ballet school that was owned by a woman with a prestigious last name in this industry. I was taught by a russian teacher who himself was and still is a remarkable ballet dancer. The amount of work, drive, mental effort and strength it takes to survive in this environment is almost unbelievable. Not everyone is born to do this. I thought I was until my legs started to mess up on me. We didn't have enough money for me to also be getting proper therapy on the side, therefore I had to put prima ballerina dream aside. It hurt so much inside knowing I had to leave that life behind me. Fortunately I had another skill that helped me get into sport in high school. And because of my ballet experience it helped ME have an amazing drive in swimming. Ballet is most definitely a sport and it will keep shooting up in the ranks. These dancers will keep working tirelessly to prove to thw world what they are made of! PURE GRIT AND GRACEFULNESS!!!

[@brandi9889]

She talks about having the ballet physique and how to obtain it, She also talks about how they don't want to bulk up. My question is, why must the ballet physique be slender? Some individuals can not obtain such a thing due to their physical build. Talent isn't always determined by body type.

[@twice_velvet]

it's about the over all look in the performance, you can't be too tall or too short or too curvy. it's meant to look uniform.

[@tykemeawaywyou]

Brandi leann-to add to that: the optimal ballet physique is to parallel the graceful movements. Long and lean body types lend well for ear-grazing leg extension and leaps. A bulky, short dancer traditionally speaking (not my own standard) doesn’t lend as well to the fluid, graceful movements. Something just seems lost in translation. The girls that are taller and naturally slender are more desirable in a professional capacity because someone sitting in the back row of a theater can still see them and their long limbs versus a petite dancer-hence the reason the girls chosen to be leads are at least 5’8 and up. Also, in professional ballet, performances are done en pointe (when dancers are literally on the tips of their toes wearing shoes with actual wood at the infrastructure where the toe box is) therefore the more you weigh, the more difficult being en pointe will be and your ankles most likely will buckle from the strain. It’s really about gravity and physics too! What goes up must come down and the heavier something is...well I don’t think I need to explain lol!

Melissa Smith uh yeah, no. When it comes to some things yes your genes dictate it but for something such as flexibility it's the stretching of your body over time that results in if you are flexible. also, the things you find online aren't advice exactly it's stretching exercises to follow. Your analogy was kinda pointless. A better analogy would be something such as a six pack. If you don't have any core but do crunches every day eventually you will inevitably get that pack. It's the same for stretching. If you simply can't do the splits but every day you push a lil' further, it is unavoidable that after some hard work you will be flat.
