Ballet is one of my favorite styles of dance because I like working at the barre. But, it is also one of my favorites for another reason- Ballet is the base of all dance styles! Think about it, how would you know how to have your shoulders down while turning? Ballet! And how would you know how to turn your legs and feet out? Ballet! I found THIS at dance.about.com:
“Ballet serves as a backbone for many other styles of dance, as many other dance genres are based on ballet. Ballet is based on techniques that have been developed over centuries. Ballet uses music and dance to tell stories. Ballet dancers have the ability to transport an audience to another world.”
Have you noticed that what you do in ballet helps with all other dance styles? If so, what is it?
