 BENIFITS OF BALLET
Better posture
Ballet helps you achieve postural alignment. Each movement requires an alertness of how you carry yourself
from one stance to the other. Elegant forms such as the Port de Bras and High Swan Arms corrects sloppy
posture by pulling your shoulders back and elongating your neck.
Boosts confidence
Anyone can do ballet. It begins with the innate desire to pursue ballet and setting achievable goals along
the way. A study found that ballet training increased the diversity of subjects’ foot configuration. However,
an experienced and amateur met comparable levels of postural control and stance difficulty. You will be
amazed with yourself when you complete a posture that used to intimidate you.
Improves flexibility
Flexibility is not a prerequisite for ballet; you gain it through practice. Since ballet involves static and dynamic
stretching, doing both will contribute to your overall flexibility.
Builds muscle and agility
Believe it or not, ballet is a combination o and endurance training. It also entails breath coordination
throughout your dance sequence. Doing plié squats, ballet jumps, and spins uses your own body weight to
strengthen your core and lower body. As you continue to practice more, you’ll maintain the integrity
of precise movements
